Haiti

Haiti shares an island with the Dominican Republic and is located in the Caribbean. Its population is an estimated 11.7 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean. Although a large percentage of the population are considered to be Roman Catholic, the Vodou traditions are practiced and carry impact. Haiti is a volatile country filled with unrest. Escalating gang warfare has created perilous living conditions, resulting in high emigration and innocent people being driven from their homes with no means of self-sufficiency.  Port au Prince is the hot-bed of this violence and it is in this context that Adoration Christian School, Word and Deed’s partner, works to spread the Gospel.

  • Christian Day Schools

    Adoration Christian School

    Adoration Christian Centre is a holistic Christian development foundation serving and discipling Haitians in Port-au-Prince, focusing on poverty relief and supporting at-risk families through a quality Christian education for their children, which, in turn, impacts their communities, for the glory of Jesus Christ. Through Adoration Christian School, our partners are providing Christian education to over 500 students, all of whom are sponsored. The school began as an elementary school, but today the school offers Kindergarten through Grade 13, along with three levels of special education. The recent years of intense unrest and violence have been challenging for Adoration, requiring a concerted effort for the safety of their students while remaining operational.

  • Micro-Loans

    Esperance Microloan Program

    After Hurricane Matthew struck southwestern Haiti on October 4, 2016, it left widespread damage in this impoverished nation. Many business’s goods were either lost or destroyed by flooding. At that time, Word & Deed partnered with Esperance Haiti to establish a microloan program to provide business owners the means to re-establish themselves.  

    This program proved to be very successful and in 2018 Word & Deed and Esperance saw the opportunity to impact more lives through an expansion of the program in a community where over 95% of the population lives below the poverty line. In 2020, the program was again expanded in to the Central Plateau Region of Haiti in the city of Hinche.

    Esperance’s goal is to help transform lives of the most vulnerable Haitians both materially and spiritually, through financial services. They seek to impact families in their communities in the areas of finance, health and education by prayerfully teaching God’s Word, with a focus on a Biblical worldview of work, in order to restore lost hope to those who are most in need.
