Make a Tangible, Life-Giving Impact on Children in Haiti
lakayTimoun
lakayTimoun provides education, hope, sustenance and safety to more than 200 children in preschool through grade 6. While chaos rages throughout Haiti, our students in Saint-Michel-de-l’Attalaye receive two meals a day and quality faith-based schooling. In addition, 29 teachers and professionals earn a living wage to support their families.
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
Rising in Strength
In August 2024, we stood in shock at the fire that destroyed our kitchen and supplies. That kitchen had allowed lakayTimoun to serve 450 meals a day to students and other hungry area children with nowhere else to turn. The situation was already tense: With the current volatility in Haiti, food prices were high. Inflation and an unfavorable exchange rate also have had an impact. The meals from lakayTimoun are often the only ones these children have.
Today, we stand in awe of God’s goodness. The kitchen has been rebuilt, expanding to meet our ever-growing student population. We’ve seen God’s hand in the way the community responded to the fire, including helping extinguish the flames and cleaning up the area. And we’ve seen churches, ministries and individuals step up with assistance.
The new school year is upon us. Will you join us in God’s work with a gift today?
The 2024 kitchen fire destroyed the building. But it didn’t destroy our hope. With your generosity and God’s faithfulness, we have continued to build back better, allowing children to receive regular, healthy meals in addition to a solid education.
