“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.

Update from Boileau & Signs of the Future

Good news from Boileau.

Our primary contact in Boileau, Pere Kensy, was finally able to get a message to us - good news: there were no fatalities or serious injuries in the village. Although homes were destroyed, they were not made of concrete and did not cause serious injury. The school and clinic are still standing. The stairs for the school have visible cracks; we will need an engineer to assess whether the multiple tremors compromised the structural integrity. He reports, however, that many in the village are in “dire straits” because family have been killed or injured in cities closer to Port au Prince.  read more »
