Haitian Hope
Haitian Hope is a partnership of several Episcopal churches from around the US to support St. Marc’s School in Trouin, Haiti and the village it serves. The goal was to help the children become more productive and self-sufficient through accomplishing the educational skills and knowledge required by the Haitian system. Funds are raised for mutually agreed upon projects and materials, including crisis aid, lunch programs, and training and support of teachers and students. We are thankful to be a Haitian Hope partner.
