"When we heard this news, we knew we had to do something," said Mission of Hope President Brad Johnson. "In partnership with Convoy of Hope, we are allocating a large distribution of food to prisons. We do not want overcrowded prisons to run out of food and families to get word that their loved ones have died in conditions that should not be tolerated."
The food crisis is not the only issue Haiti is facing right now. The country has been rocked by the 2021 assassination of its president, earthquakes in the south killing over 2,000 people in 2021, as well as increased gang violence that has halted most people from being able to live their normal lives including going to work, church, school, or even the market for essential goods.
Mission of Hope believes that Haiti can be changed, but it starts with educating the next generation. With over 16,000 students in our education network, Mission of Hope is providing a quality, Christ-centered education, and a daily meal to students who might not otherwise be able to eat that day. By educating students and seeing them graduate, their lives are changing and so are their families.
