We are a group of Christian men and women trying to make a difference in poverty ridden Moron, Haiti through the construction of a girl's home. This girls home is named the Christian Girls Home of Moron, Haiti. We are trying to help the young girls of Moron with shelter, food, clothing, education and religious instruction. We have already leased the property for the home, and soon hope to remove the existing structure and prepare the site for a new structure.

We are not affiliated with any one organization or christian denomination, but rather a mix of all faiths and religions. Those who want to make a difference have joined us through time, talent and treasure. We invite you to do the same.

A 1998 report on Haiti states: Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest countries in the developing world. Its per capita income--$ 250--is considerably less than one-tenth the Latin American average. About 80 percent of the rural Haitian population live in poverty. Moreover, far from improving, the poverty situation in Haiti has been deteriorating over the past decade, concomitant with a rate of decline in per capita GNP of 5.2 percent a year over the 1985-95 period.

The staggering level of poverty in Haiti is associated with a profile of social indicators that is also shocking. Life expectancy is only 57 years compared to the Latin American average of 69. Less than half of the population is literate. Only about one child in five of secondary-school age actually attends secondary school. Health conditions are similarly poor; vaccination coverage for children, for example, is only about 25 percent. Only about one-fourth of the population has access to safe water. In short, the overwhelming majority of the Haitian population are living in deplorable conditions of extreme poverty. In the face of this daunting reality, Haiti’s population continues to grow at a high rate estimated at almost 200,000 people per year.
