For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.
Psalm 78:15-16
Kobonal, Haiti
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Nearly 60% of Haiti’s 10.8 million people live in poverty. Households lack food, clean water, health care and education. Two-thirds of Haiti’s people have no formal job. Cross Catholic Outreach works with the Kobonal Haiti Mission to alleviate poverty among Haiti’s poorest families.
Village of Hope Gala
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.
Proverbs 19:17
