Our
Mission 
The Haiti Project
is an Outreach
Ministry of the
Episcopal Dioceses
of Milwaukee. We
work in partnership
with others from
all walks of life
who share the belief
that education,
clean water, access
to medicine, and
compassion are
basic human necessities.
Ending poverty in Haiti is multifaceted, and we take our role of stewardship seriously. That’s why more than 90% of our expenses are used for programs that directly affect the people living in Haiti - especially the small and mountainous community of Jeannette. 100% of our funding comes from private sources, including individuals, churches, corporations and grants. Our collective goal is to promote self-sufficiency and independence. Join us. Let us know you're interested.
In January 1986, Fr. Lafontant introduced us to the village of Jeannette and miracles began to happen. We were convinced of his integrity and sent him money to pay teachers’ salaries. Although semi-retired and living in Port-au-Prince, he had a very modest house in Jeannette. As many as 12 Americans would cram into his two bedrooms or sleep in tents there. Soon, buildings began to appear around the church. Cisterns were dug, a dormitory the teachers and a clinic was built. Every year more classes and children were added to the school. People were transformed, physically, mentally, spiritually. You can READ MORE about the life of Fr. Octave in our June 2009 e-Newsletter Donate
