Haiti Restoration
The Need:
Earthquakes have devastated Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince leaving a wake of destruction. STEM’s partner churches are doing their best to bring relief by providing food and medical supplies and building materials. But the need is overwhelming. Over 220,000 survivors are living in temporary camps. It’s doubtful if the capital city will ever recover from the structural damage.
Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Its people will need all the help they can get to get back on their feet. They’re asking us to come and work with them.
STEM sent the first of over 100 mission teams to Haiti 25 years ago. We want to help our partners in their time of need. We welcome all volunteers, both skilled and unskilled.
The Response: Help Us Make A Difference!
Teams go prepared to serve in practical ways, such as clearing rubble and debris, hosting or assisting with medical clinics, ministering to children, and distributing food and water and medical supplies.
We will have the opportunity to provide comfort and hope to those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy.
Teams will need to be flexible and adapt to the changing needs in the country.
