Support Food For The Poor In Haiti

By Lessie Kaufman


The poorest nation in the world is in the western hemisphere, not far from major centers of wealth. Haiti, the largest nation in the Caribbean, keeps its position as the poorest of the poor year after year. Fortunately for its more than ten million people, many humanitarian organization are trying to help change that statistic. Food For The Poor In Haiti is a branch of the largest group working in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Food For The Poor is an international organization that serves Latin America and the Caribbean. It is one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. It depends on donation primarily but also receives government grants to assist in its efforts. The aid is delivered in many different ways, although food is one of the major needs that must be addressed immediately and continually.

The country has many demographic and historic distinctions. It was discovered by Christopher Columbus. There were native people there, but they were soon virtually eliminated as the fertile areas of the island were planted with sugar cane and other crops. African slaves were imported to work for the colonial masters. Horrific conditions eventually led to a successful slave revolt; Haiti is the only nation founded in this way.

the early days of hope lasted about ten years. Politics here have always been tumultuous, with coup after coup ushering in dictators that plundered the nation of all wealth and hope. Most people live with little hope for employment or education. There is a overwhelming lack of sanitation, medical care, and opportunity for improvement.

Food For The Poor feeds over fifteen thousand people daily at their center in Port-au-Prince. It builds and restores homes and schools, provides clean water and sanitation to communities, and opens medical clinics. Start-up money is given to help people with micro-enterprises, giving them a way to support themselves and their families.

They hope that, with provision of basic needs of life, more children will survive, be healthy, and receive an education. The charity is highly-rated. Less than five percent of monies received go to administrative and fundraising costs; over ninety-six percent goes directly to humanitarian programs. Evaluations are posted and reviewed annually by several independent watchdog organizations to help donors choose worthy groups to help.

People can help this effort in several ways. A one-time donation can be given online by check, credit card, or third-party payment (e. G. Paypal and Amazon). Automatic monthly donations can be also be set up. People can build a webpage to raise money and awareness locally. Many choose to sponsor an individual child, providing life support and education for under forty dollars a month. This helps not only the child and its family, but the entire community as well.

Go online for more information. The organization posts upcoming events, like 5K runs that are great ways to raise both money and public awareness. There are also many pictures of children needing sponsors, on-going projects, and success stories.
