Haiti, West Indies is the poorest country in the
Western Hemisphere. Population of 9,200,000 with
an average age of 18 yrs.
400 children die each day
of starvation and only half the children reach the age of 15.
Next slide shows a map of Haiti with the green dots showing where our schools are location with full support and the pink dots show the locations where we have started but unable to give full financial support.......
We opened our first school in Chabin with 81 children in January of 2006.
Over 430 children attend our Chabin schools: 2010/2011
2010/2011
- 56 schools at 51 locations, including 3 bible schools, 2 high schools, and 51 elementary schools.
- 13,000 students
- Providing 3.94 million hot meals this year, clean drinking water, all their books, uniforms, and medicine when needed & a hope for the future!!!
- 600 full time staff ..... teachers, cooks, Pastor’s, drivers, administrators, construction workers, seamstresses, etc......children waiting for the to school.
Will you step to the plate to make a difference.......
- It is possible we will have 15 additional schools with 4000 children ready to open next year.
- Without our help these children will not get an opportunity to get an education and many of them will die from starvation.
- Will you help???
- Together we can make a difference!!!
At our Chabin location we will have well over 1000 students within the next 5 to 6 years. This will include pre school to grade 13, a technical school where the students will be taught plumbing, electrical, welding, cabinet building, masonry, construction, heavy duty equipment operation, and much more......
There will also be a cement plant, brick making plant, saw mill, grain mill, garage for training mechanics & servicing our vehicles. We have already started fruit orchards, & gardens. There will be areas set aside for raising chickens, turkeys & goats.
We hope to start construction of a safe house in 2009 for short term missions teams to call home while helping with our projects.
We are also building a medical clinic/hospital for this area along with housing for our staff in Chabin.
We will be building a market place on our property close to the highway where we will sell what we grow on the land along with a place for the neighbours for selling their produce.
All profits earned from these ventures will go towards the operating costs of the schools.
Our desire is to eventually have all the schools supported from funds raised within Haiti.

Making a difference
One child at a time
Little Angels of Jacmel Orphanage started 2009
To date we have set up 73 people with micro loans:
One example is Hector with a
tree nursery.
Marsha is our head seamstress managing the 20 other full time seamstresses sewing all the uniforms with three sewing machines and the rest by hand.
Over 54% of the population have no access to clean drinking water. We have a huge opportunity to help and at the same time create income for the schools. Cost for trucks can very from $20,000. to $35,000.
each generating approx. $20,000. /yr. profit.
One of the opportunities we have to cut down significantly on our building cost and raise funds to help self support the schools is to purchase our own cinder block equipment and have it location at our chabin location beside our sand pit......
This equipment will produce 1500 blocks per day saving us $520. per day.
we would recapture our investment in one year !!
we would save well over a million dollars over the next 10 years.
Coffee plantation...3 acres of land purchased in 2010
Bais d’Orage
- 10 acres for $37,000.
- Coffee trees and shelter trees... $200,000-
Buildings, drying areas, water tanks
- Potential of producing 100,000 lbs. of coffee and employee 60 people from the region
- Potential of sales of 100,000 lbs. of green bean coffee...
after roasted approx. profit of $8.00 per lb.
- Huge potential of nearly $800,000 per year...
- goal of being in full production within 5 yrs.
