We pair individuals and families in North America with children and college students under the care of our partnering organizations in Haiti. With over 200 children sponsored and seven college students individually sponsored, this program provides funding and oversight for education, housing, nutrition, clothing, school supplies and other needful life skills development.The next largest initiative is the organization's college scholarship services through the Haitian Education & Leadership Program (HELP). The organization specifically funds the college education of twenty students. They attend one of the three accredited universities in Haiti - the University of Haiti, The University of Notre Dame and Quisquiya University. These students come from such poor backgrounds that a college education would otherwise be out of the question. In order to apply for a scholarship they need to not only come from the most impoverished situations but also have an A or A+ average in high school. The funding provides tuition, English classes, board, room, a small stipend, a computer lab and empowerment. Over the nine years that we have been in this program, 100% of those completing their college education are employed at salaries averaging $13,000 per year (over 30 times the national per capita income). The third largest program initiative in 2010 is the Chemen Lavi Miyo (Path to a Better Life) project through Fonkoze, Haiti's Bank for the Poor. This is the initiative that works to lift ultra-poor families (usually a mother with three to seven children) in the Central Plateau of Haiti out of ultra-poverty. Basic human needs are met, including health care. Clean water is provided, empowerment is given, an economic enterprise is made possible, and the children are enrolled in school. Over an 18 month process using a case worker model, families are raised up from desperate poverty to a position where they now qualify for micro-financing. In December of 2010, 116 of 120 families enrolled in 2009 "graduated" and are on the path to a better life.Though not an ongoing program service, the organization necessarily had to raise funds for emergency relief and the reconstruction of one of our partner homes in Haiti, the St. Joseph's Home for Boys in Port-au-Prince that was destroyed in the earthquake. Through this ministry, street children are given a family, education, housing and nutrition, and are taught leadership. $175,000 was raised for this effort and reconstruction has started. 580966 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 true false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false X Debbie Shealy 7708311966 1350 Peachtree Industrial Church Suwannee GA 30024 X Rick Barger 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Rhonda Bostrum 1.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Jewell 2.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Hill 1.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie Shealy 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Shealy 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chad Johnson 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Rindels 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Hebener 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 891529 30908 891529 0 3350 3350 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 894879 3350 0 0 514482 514482 0 0 10500 10500 0 0 0 887 887 0 0 0 0 0 0 15000 15000 0 0 0 0 0 47675 47675 0 0 0 0 0 0 Supplies 4985 2958 2027 Other 3751 851 2900 Literature 2969 2969 Banquet expenses 3907 3907 Banking/administrative Fees 12606 12606 0 616762 580966 31889 3907 368990 71116 0 38035 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 71116 407025 1241 25000 0 26241 X 71116 51765 329019 71116 380784 71116 407025 X 278117 31551 X true false false X false false X 143982 177048 332719 261052 891529 1806330 0 0 143982 177048 332719 261052 891529 1806330 0 1806330 229 3350 3579 0 0 1809909 14312 0.99800 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Caribbean 0 0 Grants/Assistance 514482 514482 514482 Caribbean Land Purch. 13500 wire Caribbean Emerg relief 116033 wire/checks 30908 Ortho.

Because of the dire urgency of the situation and our longstanding grassroots relationships in the Jacmel area, we were able to efficiently and swiftly facilitate emergency medical relief, basic humanitarian relief, and provide temporary shelter for thousands. Lives were saved. Limbs were saved. Children received food, shelter and clothing. This specialized relief response lasted for a period of 90 days and was made possible by generous designated giving to our organization for such purposes. In the latter part of 2010 and at the request of the authorities in the Jacmel area, we oversaw a cholera awareness, prevention, and treatment initiative for the Southeast Department of Haiti. The primary target of our initiative was children, and the education piece of the initiative included hygiene and other precautionary and protective skills.
