On average, girls in developing nations miss 40 days of school per year because of a lack of feminine hygiene supplies. Pastor Casseus and his wife Emmanuella, traveled north to Cap Haitian to participate in a Day’s for Girls Training. This training helped them both understand the function of the male and female reproductive systems, in order for them to teach this information to the women and men in Fowozoli. Every women and girl who attends the education class will receive a Feminine Hygiene Pack with washable sanitary pads, a waterproof case for soiled pads, 3 pair of underwear, biodegradable towelettes and safety pins to hang pads when washing and drying. (No donations were used to pay for this training).

Giving Tuesday…a day when we look outside of ourselves and pay a little attention to those in need, no matter what organization you support. Look in your community, your church, Main Street, family, friends, co-workers, whomever needs a little help. Here at Caring Hearts for Central Haiti, Inc., our focus is a little place in Central Haiti called Fort-Resolut (Fowozoli in Haitian Creole).
We support 50 children so they can go to school and receive one nutritious meal per school day. Food prices in Haiti have sky-rocketed and we are having to send close to $1600 per month to feed these children, where 3 months ago, it was $920. Your tax-deductible gift will go towards the support of these 50 children. No administrative costs are taken out of any donations. You can click the DONATE button on this website. Thanks so much and God bless you!
It only took one day for the Haitian Gourde to drop to an exchange rate of 65 gourdes to one U.S. dollar. What does this mean? It means that 3 months ago, we were able to feed 50 children in Fowozoli, Haiti for $960 U.S. and now it costs us $1600. That’s quite a chunk of money out of our small budget. We have a God who owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10), and this was no surprise to Him, but it was a surprise to us. We are hoping this stabilizes and returns to its previous rate. We pray for God to open people’s hearts to give so we can continue serving the children of Haiti.
$1 U.S. = 110 Haitian Gourdes and fell to $1 U.S. = 65 Haitian Gourdes
It’s SO important for children to learn to read in all parts of the world. We were able to purchase about 18 books in Haitian Creole and start a lending library. I bought the sleeves and cards that go inside the books and Pastor Casseus and I spent a little time inserting them and preparing them for lending out. After I left Haiti, he said the children were really enjoying the books and the Lending Library.
If you have an interest in providing books in Haitian Creole for the Lending Library, you can go to our Amazon Wishlist and purchase 1 or 2 (or 20), send to the address given there and I will take them with me when I go again…after things open up.
Because of Covid-19, Haiti is pretty much closed for business, but we keep praying that things will open up soon. Also, remember, if you sign up for Amazon Smile, and choose Caring hearts for Central Haiti as you charity of choice, Amazon will donate 0.5% of every purchase to us. Thanks so much!
