The people of Haiti continue to urgently need our assistance!
)
The Foundation for Peace (FFP) is actively helping in Fond Parisien, Haiti in Camp Hope and Love A Child, two camps for internally displaced people (IDP). To date, nearly 150 volunteers and FFP staff members have worked on the border to improve the lives of those who have suffered from the consequences of the earthquake on January 12th. On-going assistance is needed to help them rebuild their lives and their communities. You can be part of this extraordinary effort by donating needed funds to support our school construction project and/or get personally involved by joining one of our mission trips.

2. Join a mission team to serve in person
We are sending teams to the Haiti-Dominican Republic (DR) border to serve injured Haitian refugees who have been transported or walked to the border of the DR seeking help. This is a logical crossing point, since it is a direct route to the DR from Port-au- Prince (see map).
Our teams (maximum of 20 each) will assist with school construction and in whatever other ways we can. The cost of the trip will be round trip airfare to the DR (Santo Domingo airport-SDQ) and $90 per day including the day of arrival and departure. The FFP will use those funds to pay for team transportation, food, water, lodging and assistance for the Haitians.
Trips in April are open for sign-ups for the following dates. Go the sign up page by clicking here.
- April 3 - 9 (Flights must arrive before 2pm in Santo Domingo on the 3rd)
- July 21 - 30 (Trip 4b)
You will be notified of the schedule for team preparation meetings (in person and by telephone) that will be mandatory and begin soon.
