Hands For Haiti

Hands For Haiti Non Profit providing Education, clean water, nutrition to children in Northern Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the poorest countries on earth (145/169, UN Development Program 2010 statstics). Stepping off a plane in Cap Haitien, it’s hard to believe that a place like Haiti can exist just two hours from Florida – it seems more like somewhere in Africa, and in fact, Haiti on average is poorer than Kenya, Nigeria, The Congo, and Ghana, to name

just a few places. Eighty percent of the country lives below the poverty line, including nearly 2/3rd in abject poverty – meaning that they are essentially fighting to keep from starvation on a daily basis. Most people truly cannot comprehend how difficult life is in Haiti, but for our group, we knew when we first visited Tremesse that we had to help.
