As we step into 2025, we do so with hope in our hearts and gratitude for the resilience that has carried us through another challenging year. 2024 brought immense difficulties—rising insecurity, economic uncertainty, and an ever-increasing demand for critical support. Each day, we face these challenges head-on, knowing the road ahead is uncertain but worth every effort.

 

Together We Can…

Partner IN SUCCESS

Our medical and educational institutions remain strong, even if severely challenged. Our 36 schools are offering many levels of education to nearly 12,000 children. With up to 60% of hospitals and medical centers closed in Port-au-Prince due to violence, ours remain open for the sick and wounded in spite of shortages of medicine, fuel, and personnel.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Life is very difficult and dangerous for children struggling to survive on the streets. They are lured into gangs, and are seen by the public and police to be dangerous for society. They urgently need to be oriented towards a better future, led by example.

GIVE YOUR ALL

Our minimal fundraising expenses and strong volunteer team make it possible that over 95% of every dollar donated goes directly to Haiti. Because of the extreme suffering of the Haitian people, 10% of our total budget is in direct aid of individuals and communities.


Stay Strong with Us

Together we are doing something extraordinary, in a Haiti caught in the throes of relentless suffering. our flesh is totally in the game, and for the long haul. We are keeping our heads high when, understandably, so many are losing theirs. We trust there will truly be a better tomorrow, when many doubt this can ever be. We work tirelessly for this, and grow tired neither by our work or our waiting.

We meet both success and disaster grounded in our relentless faith in God. We bear bitter sorrow but do not refuse joy. We hold on when there seems nothing to hold on to, because we hold on to each other, and to the people of Haiti, and we hold onto God.

Let's keep fighting the good fight. Your solidarity with us is a precious gift.

—Fr. Rick Frechette CP, DO
