Feeding Program
The average income of the vast majority of Haiti's population is only $2 a day. Most families are forced to make the choice between feeding their children and sending them to school. FAIR works hand-in-hand in Haiti with GIA (Grace In Action), a program overseen by the Dondon Church just south of Cap-Haitien to assist those living in poverty.
GIA provides 700 students one meal per day throughout the entire school year, which has resulted in marked improvement in behaviour and concentration. The school is working to develop agricultural sustainability initiatives which, in time, will help the community be able to fund the school's lunch program on its own. In the meantime, your support will ensure that GIA can continue to provide meals to the students.
Cost: $10 will supply 30 meals for one day
Pray that with the increased ability to concentrate, the students would receive the full benefit of their academic and spiritual education.
