 Helping Hungry Haitians Children
With 80% of its population living below the poverty line, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Although primary education is free, less than 65% of school-aged children are actually enrolled because so many households suffer from chronic food shortage. Even if children are able to attend, their performance often suffers due to hunger fatigue.
MTC supports a local Feeding Program in Haiti which allows children to receive a nourishing lunch at school consisting of rice, beans, and sauce. For some kids, it is the only meal they will receive that day. Extra donations of food, such as soup mix, are given to the children to take home to their families. Would you consider donating to a Haitian school child this Christmas? Meals at these Christian schools will improve their spiritual, physical and educational well-being.
$50 provides 100 meals for Haitian children.
