Our mission is to bring clean water, and a Christian based, nationally accredited education to some of the poorest people on planet Earth. Haiti is the most impoverished nation in the western hemisphere. In 2010 "World Bank" assessed the Haitian people as the poorest people in the world based on individual daily incomes and access to basic human needs. Only a small percentage of children in this Northern area of Haiti can afford the private Haitian schools which cost $200.00-$800.00 (American) per year tuition plus uniforms and books. With unemployment estimates as high as 80%, most people in this area of Haiti will never go to school or learn to read or write.
None of the kids at LWCS have ever had the opportunity to go to school before coming to LWCS. Some of the children enrolled in our school are orphans as well as A NUMBER restavecs, a legalised indebted servant. (Please google 'restavec')
Living Water Christian School is located in Port de Paix on the northwest coast of Haiti, right across the ocean from the tiny island of Tortuga. This is one of the poorest areas in the country. Though Port de Paix was not directly affected by the devastating earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010 it received a large influx of refugees from Port Au Prince, many of them displaced children. Some estimates say the earthquake in Port Au Prince, killed more than 300,000 people, and resulted in more than 70,000 traumatic amputations. Haiti is now neck in neck with Africa as having the most number of amputees per capita in any country in the history of the world.
The children attending Living Water Christian School do not have the financial access to clean water and may not eat every day, but now, they receive purified water every day, occasional meals, and a certified Haitian national standard education. They are being taught to read and write their native Haitian Creole as well as how to speak French and English. The school employs local Haitian teachers and staff, providing jobs for about a two dozen Haitians and a living for their families. The school is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
