Haiti Foundation of Hope

Mosaic partners with the Haiti Foundation of Hope (HFH), a Vancouver, WA, based organization that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people in northern Haiti.

 

About Northern Haiti

In this poverty-stricken region, daily life is very difficult as a result of malnutrition, infectious diseases, droughts, tropical storms, flooding, crop failure, and a shortage of safe drinking water. Major storms in 2004 and 2008, as well as the January 2010 earthquake, have wreaked havoc that will take many years to overcome. 

 

About HFH

HFH serves three villages in Northern Haiti. Pastor Delamy Bazilme and his wife Elvire (pictured) are the primary leaders in the churches and greater communities of the area. They have built the ministry to meet the “whole person” through Christ-centered churches that are at the core of HFH's work.
HFH supports various programs in Haiti aimed at enhancing health, education, and economic development. The goal of each of these projects is to work with the local community to encourage ownership, leading to self-sustaining practices.
HFH programs include: a full-time medical clinic, a wholistic community health project, a primary and secondary school, a women’s trade school, a micro-enterprise program, a school lunch, and a clean water project.

 

Mosaic and HFH

• Mosaic has committed regular financial support to HFH's community health program, lead by Haitian physician Dr. Avril (pictured). Dr. Avril works with a small team of health professionals to provide ongoing medical care at HFH's clinic. He also oversees a group of community trainers who train local villages on essential health practices while sharing the love of Jesus.
• Medical teams travel to the village of Terre Blanche to provide medical clinics through HFH. (March 2009 team pictured below. Read the latest stories from the March 2010 team here.)
• Micro loans are made to individuals who form small groups for accountability, training and encouragement. HFH develops training materials and evaluation tools and raises funds for loans. 
• An education team provides relevant curriculum support for HFH's primary school of 600 students and secondary school of 300. 
• Special projects: Through 2009 Advent giving, Mosaic contributed funds to purchase a motorcycle for Dr. Avril so he can travel to outlying villages and provide medical care.
