A Story of Hope | Relief Came in the Form of a Meal


Eleven-year-old Kethura in Haiti knew what it was like to skip school because she did not have food to bring. Along with her seven siblings, her family’s resources just simply could not stretch far enough for all of the children every day. Her parents work hard as a construction worker and a small trader, but the political unrest and crisis in Haiti have caused skyrocketing inflation and instability for everyone.

But relief came in the form of a consistent meal at school. The school she attended became a part of the Mission of Hope nutrition program, and she and her classmates can now count on a meal every day. Kethura shared with us that because of the food, her life changed. “I am present at school every day! And I know I’ll receive a healthy meal. It’s a big blessing for my family.”


Encouraging stories like this of children receiving nutritious meals are because of the faithful giving of donors just like you. Thank you for your faithful support of ministry taking place in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. You are a blessing to many!

Neika's Story of Hope Neika, a student in one of the schools in our nutrition program, recently shared her story. "When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad left. My mom was always the one who took care of me. And then, in 2021, my mom died. I can still remember the day so clearly. I felt so hopeless when I lost my mom. I didn't know what would happen to me. My mom's cousin is a teacher, and she and her husband took me in to care for me. They put me in school. I thank God for them every day. Today, I am in the 6th grade! And I love school. Math is my favorite subject—it makes me feel smart when I can solve a problem. I also love getting to be with friends at school and eating lunch together.
