Haiti facts
Infant Mortality – Almost one out of 10 dies as an infant Average life expectancy
Men = 48 Women = 51
Average income per year is $500 According to United Nations Survey 62% of Haitians suffer
from malnutrition Surveys by Trinity/HOPE mission teams show the average
child gets a meal at home about every other day A world survey says the people of Haiti live further from
clean water than any other people in the world About 65% practice Voodoo 35% are Christian up in the last decade from 20%
The children are desperate
Without a Trinity/Hope feeding program, they spend the day at school with nothing to eat
9 of 10 children come to school without having had anything to eat
Only half of the children will have anything to eat at home at the evening meal. Only one of them will have enough to feel satisfied
5 out of 10 children have nothing to eat at home in any 24 hour day
Many houses are made of sticks, mud and palm fronds.
Even worse housing—none earthquake proof
Sanitation and medical care are often non-existent
Families have no food stockpiled—they buy for that day if they have the money
People eat dirt cakes. Mining the special soil for them. March 2009, Hinche, Haiti
When the earthquake struck Trinity/HOPE was already providing a meal each day for over TEN THOUSAND children and their teachers in 65 schools.
