Voices for Haiti in the midst of Hurricane Response The past few weeks have been difficult ones for Haiti as the devastation of hurricanes Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike have left a death toll in the hundreds, tens of thousands homeless, and hundreds of thousands of people in dire need of humanitarian aid. The destruction has hampered relief efforts as roads and bridges to areas most-affected are damaged and unusable. VFH is hard at work raising funds to send to our team in Haiti to help in our relief efforts. Your help is desperately needed. Please go to our donate page to help us with all you can in this time of great need.
Mending Lives
Last year alone, VFH provided a free education to over one hundred and fifty children. In addition, (send them to the page) these children received one free meal every school day. Also, at the beginning of the school and with the help of our partners, we provided each child with two sets of uniforms for the school year. As soon as funds become available, a dormitory will be constructed for the children who are orphans. In the near future, VFH’s medical team plan to build a medical clinic in every Habitat for Humanity community in Haiti. Read more
