On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0 earthquake struck the Caribbean island nation of Haiti. The epicenter was not far from Haiti's capital, Port-Au-Prince, home to about three million people. Homes and other buildings in Port-au-Prince are generally poorly constructed, made of concrete or concrete blocks, and the early news is that there is massive destruction and loss of life. Haiti has very little infrastructure or emergency/disaster services. It is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. In the best of times, life is very difficult for those who live in the hillside that surround Port-au-Prince. The lack of food already affects more than a quarter of Haiti's population---almost two million people. Please join us in prayer for every survivor. Your tax-deductible gift directly funds disaster relief efforts. You can help save lives TODAY.
Abandoned and orphaned children can be found in every nation of the world. Currently, our focus is on the children of Haiti. Through our foster care program, we place children in a family environment monitored by our loving staff members, and provide for the child’s cost of living. The vision of project Hope is to create a self-sustainable community based on agriculture. Our Board of Trustees and Executive Council comprise of volunteers with finance, accounting, business, and medical backgrounds.
Watch Dr. Edgard J. Pierre from the University of Miami discuss the impact of the earthquake on the inhabitants of Haiti.
