For more than 3 decades, Global Faith In Action, now Haiti Hope Foundation, has been transforming an illiterate and impoverished community. As a result, the people of Lambert have a school, computer technology lab, trained teachers, and a medical clinic with a nurse and lab technician.
Consequently, the people of Lambert are healthier and more residents are literate, but the people still live in extreme poverty, with 80% unemployed. Approximately 60% of the children in Haiti do not go to school. The families live on an average income of $180 a year. They are still dependent upon our help to keep their students in school.
Your monthly donation of $30 helps to pay for tuition, a school uniform, one meal a day, and a valued education. We are proud of the education the students receive. Students from our school rank with the highest in the nation of Haiti. Why not decide today! Support a child, or two or even three. It hardly seems possible, but children like those pictured will have the gift of an education. If you simply decide to spare a few dollars a month, you can provide an education for an elementary or secondary aged student. One time donations in any amount are also very helpful.
You can change the life of a Haitian child born into one of the poorest households in the Western Hemisphere.
The children pictured are healthy because they have support to help them go to school. Each day at school they receive a healthy meal, along with a quality education. Their test scores rate amongst the highest in the country.
The mother (standing) and father (seated) in front of their home can only hope that their little boy will receive an education. They cannot afford to even pay the cost of one months tuition. In Haiti there are government public schools, but they only educate 5% of the population and are located far from this rural area. Will you help?
We are thankful for the Wichita Downtown Rotary Club who has helped us renovate an old building and transform it into a medical clinic located directly across the road from the Lambert Baptist Elementary and Secondary School. It is so important that students and their families receive medical care.

It is important that the Haitian children be prepared to compete in today's high tech society. Pictured here is a two-room Computer Technology Lab that is completed and fully equipped with laptop computers, solar power, and Starlink Internet service.
Students who attend school learn what it takes to create healthy communities. Above is pictured a dry latrine. Years ago, we built a girls and boys dry latrine on the campus of the Lambert Baptist School. The latrine is clean, and recycles the waste creating fertilizer – saving the underground water from being polluted. The latrine also includes a hand washing area. During the Cholera epidemic there were no diagnosed cases in this area of Haiti perhaps because of the hand washing emphasis taught by the school teachers.
