WHERE

About Canaan, Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and Canaan is one of the fastest growing slums - not only in Haiti, but on our planet today. Canaan did not exist prior to the 2010 earthquake. It is where thousands of people and families were relocated after losing their homes.

Though the people were given land, Canaan is a self-governed city and has no support from the government. There is currently no running water, electricity, infrastructure, security, or public schools. Businesses are few and far between, with extremely limited employment opportunities, forcing most Haitians to live on $1.50 per day.

WHAT WE are DOing

Our Work in Canaan

To help support the children of Canaan, we built and continue to operate an elementary school. Our school opened in September 2018, welcoming 111 children in the first year.
1. Education

We have provided a safe school for children to attend and obtain an education. Each year, we pay tuition fees for over 100 children. We provide them with textbooks, uniforms, school bags and supplies.

2. Water

Canaan has no running water in its community. We built a water well, provided 5 water towers, a hand washing station, and 6 bathrooms.

3. Nutrition

Many children die from malnutrition. We provide a daily snack and water to the children in our school. We also hold hot meal feeding programs for the children and their families.

4. Clothing, Shoes and Hygiene Kits

We collect gently used clothing and shoes from our Canadian and US supporters.  We distribute much needed personal care items to the children, families, and community.

5. Community Support

The school is a place where the community hosts meetings, art and music programs, and workshops.
