The Arms of Jesus School, in Cap Rouge Haiti, currently has three classrooms, for 165 students aged between 4 and 6 years. Thereafter they must relocate to neighbouring Jacmel, over 20 KM distant in order to continue their education. Very few families can afford this expense. We intend to buy additional property near to the existing school and build at least one new classroom each year so that our students can continue to finish their primary education in our school. Suitable land has been identified and can be purchased for approximately $75,000.

Haiti is the most densely populated country in the Americas and occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with Dominican Republic. It is also one of the poorest countries in the world and historically, is a country which was dedicated to Satan in 1791. Of the eight million population of Haiti, 80% live in poverty. Nearly 70% of the people depend on agricultural, which consists mostly of small-scale subsistence farming. This farming employs nearly two-thirds of those who work in Haiti.

As a mission, we responded to a burden felt by young Haitian by the name of Mr. Wilson Maitre, who was a student at the Jamaican Bible College . With the Mission raising funds to support him and the necessary workers, a program was begun in one of the poorest and most rural areas of Haiti. This mission work today in Haiti is basically two fold:

Educational/Nutritional

We operate three small schools, where children receive a very basic Christian education and where they are provided with daily nutritional needs. The mission also provides the required educational materials, and uniforms for the children.

Child Sponsorship

Through a monthly sponsorship program, the poorest of the poor are provided with food, clothing and where possible, an education. This program is impacting families in a powerful way, but without funds many go without. For the many children there is no such thing as a daily bath, hot meal or clean clothing. Because of the sponsorship program many more children will feel the impact of our help.
