Haiti: How You Helped

Because of your generous response, we have spent over 180,000 dollars in helping the people of Haiti after the January 12th earthquake over the past 6 months.

How was that money spent? You can see actual photos of our relief efforts in Haiti here, but here's a peek at some of the aid we could extend to Haiti:

  • 3,000 5-gallon water jugs
  • 788 food kits, each with enough supplies to provide 30 meals to a family of 5
  • Over 375,000 nutritious rice packs
  • 1,850 lb of a highly nutritious peanut butter paste to combat malnutrition in children
  • More than 7,000 lb of medicine and medical equipment
  • Two medical teams with counselors to minister to tent cities and our projects in northern Haiti

We continue to do more in Haiti with your help. You have saved lives! People in Haiti are able to see God’s tangible love because we are able to meet their needs. Thank you.

The people of Haiti need your help now!!

Arrangements have been made for a medical team to arrive on Tuesday, led by Medical Mercy Director, Dr. David Beyda.

Haiti Quake Update: All Children/Families OK

With limited communication, Mission of Mercy staff on the ground in Haiti and Dominican Republic have confirmed that all sponsored children and their families are safe. In addition, no projects were damaged and the projects have resumed operation.

Mission of Mercy thanks those who have already given to support the relief efforts. Your contributions are buying tents, food, water and medical supplies for those in Haiti who have been affected.

Haiti Hit By 7.0 Earthquake

Mission of Mercy operates 14 projects in the country of Haiti, all located in the north of this small Caribbean nation, approximately 80 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake. We can now say that there has been no damage to the buildings our projects operate out of. Children are safe and the programs are operating on normal schedules.

Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic where Mission of Mercy operates 30 projects. Though they experienced strong tremors, there has been no other impact to our children or project structures in that country.

Communication remains difficult, but we will update information as we hear more from the project leaders. Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers.

Mission of Mercy is responding to this disaster. Please join with us by making a donation to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort. Funds will go to purchase tents, food, water, and medical supplies to assist in relief efforts in Port Au Prince.
