Ministry Partner: Haiti Project 

We are partnering with Jason and Amanda Stoltzfus who have been serving in Haiti full-time since 2010. They serve their local community and those that desire to be empowered to help themselves. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused devastating destruction over a large portion of the Tiburon Peninsula in southwestern Haiti. 

While many people received aid and support, the people living in the more remote mountain regions were largely left to fend for themselves due to the logistical challenges of reaching them. Jason became aware of their dire situation and the Haiti Project (roofing) was born. 

As a result, Jason has worked through and alongside the local leaders over the past 5 years to ensure the project fosters community collaboration and provides a high level of accountability for anyone receiving a roof (almost 500 homes so far). This process has developed strong relationships and a deep respect for everyone involved. The level of ownership by the local people with this project is unprecedented for Haiti. Now that the relationships have been formed and accountability has been established, the next phase is to empower them to become more sustainable long-term via microfinance projects. 

100% of the proceeds from this event go to the Haiti Project and will be utilized to build the microfinance effort, and other local projects.
