Values
HFAV values Biblical principles in its management and actions of its team members on the ground, especially those of humility, love, and respect. With that same perspective, we see our work as a hand up, not a hand out.
HFAV values ethical support and empowerment of people in need, including working with the equal input of local people and community leaders. This leads to projects that are sustainable, working, and wanted in the community.
HFAV values the idea that education can lead to life-changing circumstances and opportunities. We value educating our team members properly to prepare them for their time spent in Haiti.
What is the purpose? This is an opportunity to share Christ with the people of Cotes-de-Fer, while providing a much-needed health care service to the area, including health education and various needed projects.
Cotes-de-Fer is an extremely impoverished area that was forced into more dire straits by the Haiti earthquake in the beginning of 2010 when most of the town was destroyed, and again in October 2016 from Category 4 Hurricane Matthew. The main village is home to more than 4,000 people and supports its surrounding area inhabitants of approximately 40,000+
We have a simple mission: to give more people
hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ by being
His hands and feet in the areas we serve.
Providing emergency food and clean water
Category 4 Hurricane Matthew destroyed many homes
& local farms/gardens in the area. We are providing
money for the emergency purchase of rice, beans,
cooking oil and clean water to help feed families who
lost their homes and farms in the storm.
Digging irrigation systems in the Village of Cotes-De-Fer, Haiti
We recently completed the digging process of our first well construction in November of 2015 for the area.
Installing Solar panels
A group of volunteers accompanied from "Water for Life" team members in Haiti and "Help Make it Rain" from Souderton, PA traveled to Haiti to install solar panel systems at the first well location.
Ongoing fundraising effort
Using the funds you provided and with your continuing support, We are in the process of construction a water tower in the village to help direct the water to the right farming area where it can effectively be utilized.
