Our neighbor, Haiti, located just a few hours from our shores, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

Unemployment across the country is around 16%, and it’s even higher in rural communities. Most children are only educated through 6th grade – if at all. Basic needs, like access to clean water and food, are difficult to come by. Daily survival requires everything people have.

This leads to a life of limited dreams, limited possibilities, and limited hope.

Ekipe Haiti educates, equips, and empowers the people of Haiti to create better futures for themselves and their families. We come alongside the Haitian people to unlock their God-given potential so they can unleash new possibilities for their lives and impact their communities for good.

Motivated by the command to love our neighbors as ourselves, we model the Gospel in action and care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Through community-building programs like schools, agricultural training, and micro-loans for entrepreneurs, we equip people with the tools they need to improve their lives today and tomorrow — creating opportunities, igniting dreams, and inspiring hope.
