News and upcoming events from Believe inHaiti

April 2019

Believe in Haiti is devoted to keeping Haitian families together through love, education, and service, while empowering individuals to rise above their current poverty level.

Rainy Season has come!

There's been a lot of talk about the farmland lately. Believe in Haiti has really pushed to get the farming program going, and for good reason. For the next few months Haiti will be in the rainy season, the ideal time for crops to grow. A few months ago we began, and have since completed, fencing off the farmland. During the last few months we have worked with local agricultural experts to make sure the farming is done right. There were MANY people in St. Rock excited to join the farming cause. We now have seven teams with team leaders who receive ongoing training from a local agronomist. As of a few weeks ago, they have planted plenty of manioc. Read more...

The newly organized farm committee was able to get all the manioc planted.

There are also a few rows of seeds that have sprouted and are off to a healthy start!

St. Rock News

We may not have taken a trip to Haiti this past month, but we still stay closely connected to St. Rock. Our on-ground liaison, Dimitry, is in constant communication with us about what is going on in St. Rock, what is working great, and what may need some extra attention. As mentioned above, all the manioc was planted into the farmland. The farm committee is made of about 70 people who are motivated and excited to work the farmland. The farm committee also received seeds of different varieties that were distributed last Friday. Another great asset to BiH are two men, Frantz and Sobner, who help with logistics of school attendance among many other things. Currently, there are four baby goats and five adult goats they are taking care of and seem to be doing well!
Dimitry regularly checks in on the English classes and reported that those are also going very well. We are so grateful for reliable, compassionate, dedicated people that we get to work beside in St. Rock!

How to help this month

We currently have 26 students without a sponsor. When you sponsor a child, whether for a primary education or as an English student, you are helping a Haitian qualify for greater opportunity. A school sponsorship not only provides education, but a meal and a required uniform for the child.
An English student sponsorship not only provides the opportunity to attend the class, but helps with the associated costs such as a local teacher's pay, applications to the program, equipment and books for the student, and an opportunity to thrive.

The majority of Haitians earn less than $2.50 each day, many of them only over $1. So when you click on a student and sponsor them, you are literally providing an opportunity of a lifetime.

$20/month might not be life-changing in America, but it can completely change a life in Haiti.

The Gift of Student Sponsorship

Our English classes are up and running. Your help will allow these motivated students to work hard and improve their situation.
Sponsor a student today, change a life forever.
