Lemet works extremely hard behind the scenes repairing desks and shelves at our crèche, patching roofs, fixing leaks, building benches, doing church projects, painting, and more!

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, be

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” - Ephesians 4:2-6

As we stand up for justice, we pray for unity among every nation. We fight to give opportunity to those with little, call out injustices, and be the voice for the oppressed. Spreading love means spreading Jesus, that is at the forefront of all we do. 💕

“Act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with

“Act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” - Micah 6:8

Our hearts mourn for the oppression seen across America, Haiti, and black communities across the world. We stand with our brothers and sisters for justice and for each and every person to be loved deeply and seen as valued the same in God’s eyes. Black lives matter. 🖤

Today is Mother’s Day in Haiti! We honor all Hai

Today is Mother’s Day in Haiti! We honor all Haitian mothers who have sacrificed more than we could imagine for their children and families. They represent resilience, love, and dedication, and fight to provide for their families. They work sun-up until sun-down cooking, cleaning, caring for their children, transporting water to their homes, and selling products on the street to help put food on the table.
.
Matina, one of our Zel seamstresses, is pictured with her 3 children. Matina had to stop going to school at an early age because her parents could not afford to pay. She is overjoyed to have a steady job so that she can pay for her children to finish school and give them opportunities that she never had. She is a model of what we are about at C4C - no matter where a person lives and what their skin color is, they deserve to be deeply valued and given equal opportunity.
.
Check out the link in our bio to purchase a mask and help provide work for women like Matina! Help us meet our goal of selling 1,200 masks, today is the last day and we are so close!

450 pounds of seeds, including squash, beets, cabbage, and melon have arrived in Haiti! 🙌🏿 These seeds are being distributed to our agriculture program in our remote village of Massikot where 50 of the poorest families are being impacted. We will also use these seeds to grow more vegetables in our Kenscoff garden to feed the kids at our crèche.

A huge thank you to Danny Fernandez and US Agriseeds for your incredibly generous donation. With food being harder to come by and more expensive, growing food in our remote communities is a major blessing!

On this World Hunger Day, the World Food Programme

On this World Hunger Day, the World Food Programme announces that “Haiti has the highest rates of childhood malnutrition in the western hemisphere, and nearly four million people – more than one in three Haitians – are estimated to be in need of urgent food assistance.” .
.
The number of starving children in Haiti grows daily as food becomes more expensive and harder to come by.
.
“During an infectious disease outbreak, like COVID-19, malnutrition rates can increase sharply, leading to higher mortality rates due to compromised immune systems.” .
.
Partner with us in feeding thousands of kids across Haiti. They need us more than ever during this unprecedented time.

The goal of our Women’s Empowerment program is help keep Haitian families together. We have continued to pay our Zel seamstresses during this difficult time, whether or not we have work for them.

We wanted to give a huge Thank You to these 2 high school classes who worked hard to raise funds for 2 children at our crèche.

The first class pictured raised $1,950 for J and the next class raised $1,720 for L. We are grateful for their compassionate hearts and desire to serve! These funds will make a huge difference in providing for food, nanny care, housing, and other essentials.

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

We have 9 days left to reach our goal of selling 1,200 masks for our @zelhaiti program! The number of Haitians who have tested positive for COVID-19 has greatly increased over the past few days. Every mask sold goes to a child in one of our villages and provides work for our Zel seamstresses. Help us reach and exceed our goal! You can find the link in our bio.

We will miss them dearly, they both added so much joy to our crèche family. But we know that they will continue to spread that light and joy wherever they go. They both have very bright futures ahead of them! 💕

Haiti has been hit hard by natural disasters, corr

Haiti has been hit hard by natural disasters, corruption, poverty, food scarcity, and disease for decades, but this past year has been one of the most difficult for the country and the current spread of the virus brings Haiti to a breaking point.

With the close of Dominican Republic’s border, food availability has become an even greater problem. While basics like rice, beans, and pasta are available, other foods like meats and produce are very difficult to find. Haitian currency has also devalued as a result of the crisis and food prices are only rising in response.

People are struggling to find food and resources day to day, which makes it especially important that we keep our staff and the children in our care fed and healthy.

Hundreds of thousands of Haitians working in the D

Hundreds of thousands of Haitians working in the Dominican Republic have been sent back to Haiti due to the virus outbreak and lost jobs.
.
According to The Washington Post, “Haiti and the Dominican Republic each have populations of around 11 million...but the average Haitian is almost 10 times poorer than the average Dominican. Haiti’s infant mortality rate is twice as high. At least 500,000 Haitians work in the Dominican Republic; the remittances they send home make up a third of Haiti’s GDP.” .
.
Please be praying for Haiti as work becomes harder to find, inflation climbs, and too many families go to sleep with empty stomachs. 🙏🏿

This mom traveled across mountains for 7 hours to arrive at our medical clinic so that her child could get proper medical care for her skin condition. We fight to provide opportunities and better lives for families like these. Visit the link in our bio to support our mission.

According to NPR, “Most Haitians do not have access to potable water and sanitation, and many live in crowded households where quarantine and isolation are challenging...there is the real risk that growing food insecurity will result in famine. Civil unrest, a difficult political situation and precarious security may further complicate the situation."

“I've lived through the AIDS epidemic, TB, cholera, malaria, Zika, Chikungunya," a 73-year-old doctor says. "Yet this is the most difficult. Yes, this is the most difficult epidemic we've had to deal with." .

Please keep Haiti in your prayers. God is with us. 🙏

Here’s a short video from our crèche today! Our kids are “oh so happy” spending many days playing, dancing and singing together when they aren’t doing their schoolwork or chores. We sure do love each and every one of these sweet little ones. 🥰

A few of our 14 village churches have been able to hold multiple services with 10-15 people at each service while practicing social distancing. Haitians normally spend many hours in church every week, so offering these smaller gatherings have been very encouraging to our villagers. We are grateful to God for small blessings like these to keep our villagers reminded of God’s Goodness during this time. They don’t have live stream resources like we do!
