Hospital Indigent Fund

For more than 50 years the Wesleyan Church has provided compassionate medical ministry to the country of Haiti at the La Gonave Wesleyan Hospital and the clinic in Fauche/Port Margo. Patients are charged modest fees for care and medicine but many cannot pay even these small amounts ($1.80 for clinic consultation, $2.50 per day for hospital stay). This fund exists as a way for Haiti’s Wesleyan hospital and clinics to provide medical treatment for patients who are unable to pay for their own medical care.

Family Helper Program

For many years the Family Helper Program has funded schooling for children of Wesleyan pastors and mission employees. Because of generous North American donors, many of these children have finished their elementary and secondary schooling and are now in university in Port-au-Prince. There are many children in the program and 25 awaiting sponsorship. $15 a month provides schooling, books and uniform.

Widows & Orphans Fund

The Wesleyan church has been in existence in Haiti for over 60 years. Faithful pastors have given years of ministry to their congregations with no provision for retirement. Today there are several pastors’ widows who struggle to live with no income.

There are orphaned and abandoned children all over Haiti who have very little support and often no opportunity for education. GP Fund #WM06-1275

Micro Enterprise

One of the major problems confronting the Wesleyan church in Haiti is the poverty of its rural congregations. Many times the churches cannot afford to pay the hard working pastor. Many of these Pastors must leave their local area during the week to work to support their families returning only for the weekend. A personal small business would enable them to stay home and close to the congregation all week and also provide work for their spouse or other family members. With simple business training, modest start-up capital and follow-up accountability enterprise development projects will increase the household income of many Wesleyan pastors and other Christian families increasing as well their ability to support their local church.
