Repairs and Clean Water for the Food Program

The Pen ak Pwason (Bread and Fish) Food Program for the Elderly and Disabled has been serving up love in Borgne, Haiti for more than 14 years.

Somane, Marivierge, and Marceline have purchased locally grown food, cooked and served it four days a week *without ever missing a meal* despite political chaos in Haiti, desperate need at the door, rampant inflation, and danger to their personal safety. They do this as their gift of love to their community.

Now our building needs repairs. When it rains, they get drenched, and the food stores are sometimes ruined because of the leaking roof. Last year, we purchased a new water drum to store clean water from the spring when it runs (intermittent). But inflation ate away at our budget for installing it on a stand that can protect it from hurricane winds, so our cooks are still using water from an unprotected well. In addition, the block walls need repair and paint to combat mold.

Can you help support these three incredible women who represent love and hope despite the difficult times Haitians are enduring?
