“Saving Haiti one village at a time.” We are helping the village of Boileau, Haiti become self-sustaining. We help them help themselves through education, micro-credit, agriculture training, medicine, and wells for clean water. We are a grassroots organization guided by Matthew 25:40, “Whatsoever you did to these, the least of my brothers and sisters, you did to me.” We share a commitment to help the poorest of the poor and we invite others to join us. Please take a few minutes to read about what we’re doing and look at a few pictures. We’re working to improve the organization of this website, but don’t let our flaws interfere with learning about how the villagers in Haiti need our help. If you want more information or want to help, see our Contact tab. Thanks for taking some time to get to know more about people in Haiti.
