Restore Haiti

Missions trips - each year, several opportunities are available for individuals to travel to Haiti to be a part of the on the ground work taking place in the community of morne oge, just outside of the city of jacmel. Those who join us on a trip to Haiti will get to put their personal skill set to work to help further Restore Haiti's long term purposes. Trip members can work with construction teams on the building projects in process, work in the kitchens with the haitian cooks who prepare food for the feeding program, serve members of the community by providing training seminars on topics in which they have expertise (education, health and nutrition, character building and leadership, etc. ), work alongside our medical clinic staff, and have an opportunity to interact with the child they sponsor and their family.

Building project / disaster relief - there are several building programs in progress in the community in Haiti that we have adopted. We provided hurricane relief in the form of facility and home repairs, food distributions, and re-establishing agriculture that was destroyed. Additionally, our building programs (non-disaster relief based) are now focused on facilities in which our programs take place and serve the purpose of providing assistance to communities in the areas of healthcare, nutrition, education, and basic living conditions.

Sponsorships/feeding program - mal-nutrition and lack of education are two of the biggest issues the youth of Haiti struggle to overcome. Because there is no free public education in Haiti, many haitian children are not afforded the opportunity for consistent schooling, and therefore grow up to be unemployed and unable to support themselves. In an effort to confront these two major areas of need, we have created the Restore Haiti child sponsorship program. This program allows donors to help a specific child by providing funds for school tuition, uniforms, and testing fees. In addition, the child is admitted to our feeding program where they receive a hot meal, beverage, and multivitamin each day. Other benefits include access to medical clinics, and in some cases extra financial assistance for their families specific needs. Sponsors are also given the opportunity to connect personally with the child through photos, notes, and the opportunity to help provide school supplies or send a christmas gift each year. Many sponsors also choose to visit the child by going on one of our planned trips to Haiti each year.
