Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor

Share Your Blessings and Your Faith
Join us in providing children in developing countries with food, shelter, an education and the Good News of our Catholic faith. Materially poor children need to know that Jesus loves them and will never abandon them. With your help, we will provide them with personal rosaries they can treasure as they grow spiritually.
Your support will empower ministries like the Kobonal Haiti Mission to provide practical relief and the life-transforming message of the Gospel!
A simple rosary will be given to a child like Jaelle. To a child from an impoverished family, it will be considered a precious gift.
Every rosary includes basic “How to Pray the One-Decade Rosary” instructions and a sticker that says “Always remember, Jesus loves you. I am praying for you!” in English, Haitian Creole and Spanish. The rosary is blessed and then given to a child in need.
So when you respond with a gift today, you’ll be bringing water, food, education and more to the deserving children and their families while you ALSO share the powerful gift of faith.
Catholic Education Breaks the Cycle of Poverty
Learn more about how the Kobonal School teaches the next generation to serve God and break the cycle of poverty.
Eleven-year-old Jaelle Cadet lives in Haiti’s Central Plateau. Hunger and malnutrition run rampant in this area, and families like Jaelle’s often live in dirt-floor dwellings with leaky roofs. They lack clean water and basic medicines. Fortunately, Jaelle is blessed to attend the Kobonal School, so she has big dreams. “I would like to be a nurse so I can help people,” said Jaelle.
Through your kindness, we can help struggling Haitian families escape poverty — and the dreams of children like Jaelle’s can become a reality.
Food
Distributions to the Mission’s poorest families can be the difference between going hungry and surviving, while the Eucharist nourishes all hungry souls.
Education
The Mission educates poor children through its onsite Catholic primary school, teaching the catechism and devotion to prayer.
Housing
Sturdy concrete block homes for families currently living in shacks. Safe shelter renews God-given dignity and strengthens faith.
The Kobonal Haiti Mission combats poverty by strengthening the whole person. The Mission offers a wide variety of programming—food, water, housing, education, medical care, agriculture, microenterprise and Catholic spiritual formation. Give now to bless poor children materially and spiritually!
