BRINGING DIGNITY, HOPE, LOVE, JOY, AND FAITH TO THE PEOPLE OF HAITI
Our Heart
Haiti Mission Incorporated (HMI) is a Louisiana-based, international, development organization that helps build sustainable projects to bring dignity, hope, love, joy, and faith to the people of Haiti.
Enoch Gilot and his wife, Marie Jaulene Brunache, live in Numero Deux with two of their eight children. Enoch is a taxi driver which, of course, means he drives a motorcycle. Marie Jaulene works as a housekeeper. Looking at the house they were living in before it is very easy to understand that they were overjoyed to be chosen to receive a new home. They send praise and thanksgiving to God and also wish to thank the donors who made their beautiful new home a reality.
Before After
When St. Bridget Haiti Mission School began in 2004, classes for all grades were held side by side in our old church with very little in the way of supplies. In 2008, a generous donor stepped forward to offer HMI a $40,000 matching grant to begin the construction of a new school building. By completion in 2012, HMI donors had contributed over $250,000 towards the school we have today.
There are currently nearly 340 students, 18 teachers and staff, in a thriving school. We also raise funds for the school lunch program that provides a hot meal daily for all who attend school at St. Bridget.
If you are interested in supporting the school and/or feeding the children, you can do so by donating to “teacher support” and/or “feeding the children” on the donation tab.
After HMI had been working in Haiti for several years, trying to improve the water situation, developing schools for the children and building a house here and there for some of the families that were in desperate circumstances, Fr. Joe asked us to consider helping the extremely poor families in some way. As he put it, “All the families here are poor, but some are in truly pitiful shape.”
The team came together and put together a process that initially fed 28 families. Currently, during each mission trip we distribute to a minimum of 150-160 families. When funding is available, we also have been able to arrange several distributions when HMI cannot be in Haiti. Over the cycle of 5 groups, HMI distributes to nearly 800 families.
For more information and how to help check out “Family Food Distribution/Dirty Card” under the tab “What We Do”.
In 2010, HMI drilled a water well next to the prison and installed a cistern to supply fresh water. From there the prison ministry was expanded to provide healthy food for the prisoners on a limited basis and meals were served to the prisoners on all mission trips as part of the Corporal Works of Mercy
In 2025, HMI is currently able to feed on average 450 Prisoners every other month. “Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment”. Hebrews 13: 1-8
Bringing water to within 500 feet of every person in the region is still a major and primary focus of Haiti Mission, Inc. No development in any area is possible without sufficient, clean water. We now have 65 wells drilled in Haiti.
The HMI Woman to Woman Project helps pay for the many necessities women in Haiti encounter in their daily lives. The funds we receive are sent to Haiti and disbursed to our Haitian sisters most in need. The money is used for bus rides to town so ill women do not have to walk for miles to medical appointments, pays for doctor visits and much needed medicine, for eye drops to prevent blindness, minor surgeries the women cannot afford, and other medical necessities. Ms Jeanette's Story
Although our initial solar lights were a project of Don Robinson, since 2018, we have been able to distribute over 1800 lanterns during our "new home dedications" as well as during the family distributions for the community. Our dear friend and longtime HMI supporter, Tom Morrison, began Starpoint Charitable Project in June 2018, which has funded the lanterns. There continues to be limited power on the "main" road, and no power to the homes. The solar lanterns now provides clean, renewable, inexpensive lighting. Lighting solutions prior to the LuminAID lanterns were limited to candles, wood fires, or kerosene lanterns, which are unsafe, unhealthy, and costly.
If you would like to learn more and support the effort you can contact Tom Morrison at tom.starpointcharitable@gmail.com or go to the Donate tab and designate Solar Lights to designate your donation. The cost of each light including shipping and custom fees is approximately $40. Thank you, Tom, for all you are doing to help Light Up the Night in Haiti!
It is with great joy and anticipation that we get to witness what God does in and with each missionary during your week in Haiti. We try our best to get things organized because there are some responsibilities we have as a group each week, think about the Corporal Works of Mercy.
We then try to get out of the way and let God do his work in you and through you. We experience new things with each group which is always a blessing, and each person brings special gifts to add to the journey. We hope and pray that we can resume trips in 2026.

HMI has always looked for ways to magnify our efforts and to balance the physical and spiritual dimensions of our mission. Almighty God in His providence has seen fit to send Lloyd and Nancy Greenhaw to us to fulfill a yearning to share the Gospel message in a mighty and glorious way as we hear the clarion call of Isaiah 61 “The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, To announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn”
This section of our website will be dedicated to our evangelization efforts.

Thank You!
On behalf of the Haiti Mission team, as we enter 2025, I want to express our sincere appreciation for the support you continue to give us. As you know, our mission is to build sustainable projects that bring dignity, hope, love, joy, and faith to the people of Haiti, such as building homes, feeding the children, providing food to families, distributing medications and multivitamins, drilling water wells in communities, supporting teachers salaries to give the children and adults hope and promise of a brighter tomorrow, and so much more. This would have never been possible without people like you who support our mission.
