HUNGER
Trinity HOPE is a ministry that feeds thousands of hungry children, teachers and cooks each day in Christian schools spread throughout Haiti.
This is the only meal nearly 50% of those we serve will eat in a 24-hour period.
NUTRITION
Children receive a nutritious bowl of rice (or corn) and beans, with a high-protein mix of tomato paste, dried herring, oil, maggi (seasoning) and water. The special mix was developed by a Vanderbilt University nutritionist.
Approximately 62% of Haitians suffer from malnutrition.
FAITH
Every school Trinity HOPE feeds is a Christian school, actively teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ on a regular basis. Many schools are tied to the local Christian church.
Approximately 60% of the Haitian population practices Voodoo. 95% of the children we feed come to believe in Jesus Christ.
EDUCATION
“An empty stomach has no ears” is a well-known phrase in Haiti. Trinity HOPE understands that when children are SO hungry they can’t concentrate, their education suffers. Haiti’s future depends on the education of the upcoming generation.
48% of Haitians over the age of 15 are illiterate.
We are called to help
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Matthew 25:35,40
