LaGonave Alive: Bringing hope, health, happiness to Haiti

LaGonave Alive supports projects in Haiti in three main areas – School Scholarships / Health Care / Women, Children, Elderly.  While LaGonave Alive has provided scholarships for a several years, this year a Back to School program grew in important ways. 

Scholarships were provided to 30 students from elementary through university levels.  This is an annual commitment to provide opportunities.  ($5,900)

School uniforms were provided to 114 children.  There are public schools but if they don’t have a uniform, they can’t attend school.  More than a hundred kids received a chance this year. ($1,500)

Students often share school supplies with their siblings or simply go without.  2,000 students were given 2 pens, 2 pencils, and 4 notebooks in various schools on LaGonave.   ($2,000)

LaGonave Alive has been so blessed to have the support of partner churches and many generous donors.  Partner Churches - Watertown 1st UMC, Hot Springs United Church, Yankton 1st UMC, Mitchell Fusion, Mitchell 1st UMC, Brandon Celebration UMC, SF Hilltop UMC, Minot Vincent UMC.

Our next project – Haiti Children Christmas – serving a meal and small toy for 850-1,000 children.

$5 makes a Christmas for a child.
