Haiti Mission Inc.

Rebuilding Haiti

The Haiti Mission was formed by members of St. Bridget Church of Schriever, Louisiana in 1999. Since then, the organization has grown to include volunteers of many faiths and churches throughout Louisiana, the United States and Haiti. Its primary focus is to provide basic humanitarian aid to the Church Parish of Our Lady of Assumption in the Diocese of Jeremie, one of the poorest areas of rural Haiti. The first and foremost goal of the project is to provide potable water within 500 feet of every family in this area. Other projected activities include initiatives in the field of education, health, improved housing, and other basic material needs. A long range vision is to help the villagers establish independent economic development by providing them with agricultural business opportunities that utilize  their own resources.
