Giving Hope to Children of Haiti
70% of the 8 million people on the impoverished island of Haiti are children. The possibilities of life have become probabilities of death for many Haitian children. The statistics are alarming:

• 76% of Haitians live on less than $2 per day and 56% - four and a half million persons - live on less than $1 per day.
• 30% of Haiti is ill or underweight
Most Haitian children grow up in an environment of poverty, illiteracy, child slavery and for 10% of the child population: death before the age of four.

A school in Cap-Haitian is giving hope to 140 children of Haiti. The students receive a meal each day, shoes, clothing, school supplies, Bible study and a government-certified education. Only 10% can pay the tuition of $30 per term. The rest are supported by charitable Christians. With additional support, the school could help more students and hopefully provide for medical needs of the children. The following are two families that need help:

Emeline and Kenson are brother and sister who attended school all last year, but their parents separated and their mother went to Dominican Republic. The father is unable to care for the children. Moses Toussaint, director of the school, says the children are intelligent but cannot return to school. Often they spend all day with nothing to eat and the food at the school would be very helpful to them. If CRF helps, it will be a great blessing in their lives.

Vaniel and Daniel are twins who come often to see the other children at the school. They want to go to school, too, but cannot. One day, at 4:30 PM, they were starving and came to pick up what they could find on the ground like chickens. Moses gave them some money to buy bread and juice. They would be so grateful for the opportunity to attend school.
CRF is also helping children of Haiti through a feeding program in Balan. $1800 provides 2,000 meals each month. "Thank you so much for what you are doing for the precious people of Balan!" says Debbie Lockhart, administrator of the program.
