The mission in north west Haiti has been a huge success with our sheep program extending now to eight churches with over one hundred sheep gifted to those in most need across the district. Twelve churches have had our mobile clinic come visit with a trained nurse, supplies and medication. Many hundreds have benefited from care in some of the most remote areas of the district. We have been able to start three church shops with two more being planned in the next few months bringing much needed income for some of most impoverished church communities in Haiti.
Lachange ChurchWatch the video below of our visit to the remote hilltop community of Lachange. We traveled six hours up a winding road to bring the blessing of fourteen sheep that were gifted to fourteen families. During our visit we held a clinic, where our nurses helped many from the community with their medical needs. It is hard to over state what a blessing it is to receive sheep, especially for those who struggle to provide the basic needs for their families. Sheep are seen as the king of animals, if you are fortunate enough to have sheep, it is seen as a great blessing from God.
Sustainable FundingSimple business solutions can provide funding for a family or church community. Churches struggle to pay their pastors and school teachers. A shop can provide a simple, consistent income. The day to day running and finances of the shop are overseen by the church board and they make the decisions on how the funds are spent. We have found it to be a effective way to provide help without hurting the community.
