to Those Who Need It
Hands for Haiti is a US based 501c3 non-profit that operates St. Marc School, a Catholic faith-based school
in rural Northern Haiti. Focusing on the key elements below, our mission is to give students a hand with the basics of life, opening the doors to a brighter future for them and their families.
Education
Nothing prepares one better for success in life than education. From pre-school thru trade school, we provide learning opportunities that build life skills and self-confidence.
Nutrition
Children who are hungry and undernourished can’t focus on learning. We provide a healthy hot lunch daily for our students, for many of whom this may be their only meal of the day.
Basic Health Care
Thru an arrangement with a hospital/healthcare facility near our school, we provide services for urgent and serious medical care, as well as basic needs.
Clean Water
By providing and maintaining wells at our school and in the surrounding community, we assure a dependable source of fresh, clean water, the source of life.
Faith Formation
With a Haitian Catholic priest as our school administrator, we provide students the opportunity to learn about the love of God, the life of Jesus, and the Catholic faith.
