Our mission is to achieve food and income security for the people in southern Haiti.
We support the work of Haitian-based non-profit “Passion for Haiti”, led by agronomist Etienne Francois.
Remembering Tim Kitch
Tim Kitch was the co-founder, visionary, and the energy behind the 35-year-plus mission in support of Les Anglais that started at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and now includes numerous organizations and relationships in service to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Tim made the passage to Heaven earlier this month.
Tim maintained a long-time, fatherly relationship with Haitian Agronomist Etienne Francois, always alert to ways we could help Etienne meet the greatest needs of the people in southwestern Haiti. We will miss him greatly, as will his family and many friends in the US and Haiti. https://www.icloud.com/photos/#/i,pz,11C46BBD-FF8C-4002-89E3-10A668BB1E93,8703/

Hurricane Melissa
Haiti Ap Grandi is supporting Passion for Haiti and Reciprocal Ministries, Inc., as they work to get food, water, and other critical supplies to the families whose homes, farm fields, gardens, livestock, roads, water sources, and more were destroyed by Hurricane Melissa. You can change their lives by donating cash for farm seeds and/or a goat (or two) to provide future ongoing income for children and families.
