Emergency Relief Opportunities Increase

HHH leaders are busy assisting families through HHH-Haiti Partner churches.

• Since the 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti on January 12, 2010, an estimated 133,000 people have moved back to the Artibonite (Gonaives) area,
  located approximately 100 miles NW of Port-au-Prince.

HHH Earthquake Relief in Progress

During their March 2010 trip to Haiti, Stan Wiebe of NC (HHH Director) and Ron Bouchard of NY (HHH board member) were impressed by the dedication and heart of compassion with which HHH partnering churches are reaching out to earthquake victims in the Gonaives area.

1.  HHH-Haiti Partner church members are assisting the wounded with basic necessities which are normally provided by family members.

They are delivering food to patients, filling their prescriptions, providing hygenic items and offering to pray with them.

2.  HHH-Haiti Partners are helping families as they transition into life in Gonaives; most have nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Homes are being rented for one year for displaced families, with 70 familes on the waiting list for this rental assistance.  Relief funds will assist those with greatest need until funds are depleted.

Several relocated families own land in the area, and as sponsors come forth, we will assist them by building them a house for $5000.

Numerous children have joined our schools and churches and we are assisting them with basic necessities.

3.  HHH-Haiti Partners at CFNE* are offering a temporary or long-term home for children who need a safe place to live.

As of March 2010, three young boys and one girl who lost their parent(s) in the earthquake have moved into the home.

A supporting church in Raleigh, NC has committed to assist with the first year's obligations for up to 15 children.

For long-term care of the children, we will need four sponsors per child (at $25/month).

4.  HHH-Haiti Partners have offered vocational training scholarships for a special 1-Year program in construction, carpentry, plumbing and electrical work. 

Currently, 81 students have been offered scholarships.

Classes began in early March.

5.  HHH-North America supporters have played a key role in relief. 

Relief efforts have been made possible by generous donations.

Ministries directly affected by the quake were recommended to HHH donors, as well, some of HHH relief funds were redistributed to these organizations.

Physicians for Peace in Norfolk, VA received a load of crutches and walkers collected by HHH-USA supporters.  These will be forwarded to earthquake amputees and wounded.

Invitations for Stan Wiebe to speak have continued to raise awareness and funds for relief efforts.

2008 Hurricane Relief

The 2008 Hurricane season hit the Gonaives area of Haiti hard!

From the beginning, HHH national leaders began assisting their communities in a variety of ways.  By collaborating with other ministries for fund raising and food distribution, we were able to bless many in need.

After immediate crisis relief efforts, we have focused on rebuilding homes.  Construction is currently ongoing.

$ 17,000  Cash distributed thru seven HHH churches to over 650 families for food and essential items 

$107,000  Raised and being used for the construction of homes

$124,000 Total

2008 Hunger Relief

As a result of the rising food costs, hunger in Haiti has increased significantly. 

At the request of our national pastors and leaders, an emergency food distribution program was developed. Each month, a large quantity of rice is purchased.  The church leaders then determine who in the community is in greatest need and personally deliver rice to these families.

This distribution, an outreach ministry of our seven local churches, is a blessing to many ... and will continue as long as funds are available.

2004 Hurricane Jeanne

Our largest relief efforts took place as a result of the devastation caused by Hurricane Jeanne in September of 2004.  We were able to assist over 200 families in the Gonaives area and constructed nearly 40 homes for the victims in the Sous Raille community.
