Homes For Haiti

One and a half years after the earthquake, hundreds of thousands of Haitians still live in the toppled remains of their homes or in tent cities, where comfort is non-existent and disease is ubiquitous.

Mission of Hope is in the process of building a 500 home community for displaced Haitians. This month, 137 families are moving into brand new homes provided by MOH. These families will pay a "community fee" of $50US per month for five years and then they will be given a deed to the property. Each 16x19 foot three room home sits on a 42x90 foot lot which will be planted with various fruit and nut trees.

The next time you're tempted to gripe that your dishwasher quit working, try to remember how nice it is that you have running water and a roof.
