Relentlessly reach the next person for Jesus in Haiti.
The Story.
In February 2013, a group from Embrace traveled to Haiti for the first time in partnership with Mission-Haiti. During that trip, we visited a school of 150 kids in the small, mountain village of Jabouin. The kids didn’t have a school building and, after seeing the need first-hand, it was clear that we needed to do something as a church. Alongside Mission Haiti, we built a school for the kids in Jabouin called (a)mbrase lekol, the Embrace School. Since then, we’ve built another school called Madame Pierre and have plans for a third school in Gaspard. These three schools have more than 450 students and 59 paid staff members. Thanks to our partnership with Mission-Haiti, we’ve donated hundreds of pairs of shoes, we’re continuing to expand both current schools, and will soon begin construction on a third one.
Haiti by the numbers.
Ways to connect with Haiti:
Connect
Stay connected to Haiti by reading our Haiti Updates. Another way to connect with Haiti is to be in prayer for the organization and for the country. Pray for the teachers at the schools to remain strong in their faith, and pray for these kids to know who Jesus is.
Give
You can sponsor a student at one of our Embrace partner schools for $29 per month. This $29 pays for school tuition and provides students with a backpack, school supplies, a pair of shoes, and free medical care at Mission Haiti’s medical clinic to ultimately help them succeed in the classroom. To sponsor a student at an Embrace partner school, fill out this form and be the first to hear about new sponsorship needs.
Go
A trip to Haiti allows you to personally connect with the communities we work with — hear their stories, meet your sponsor students, and start long-lasting relationships. To join our trip waitlist, you can fill out this form.
