NEWS FROM HAITI 2025

September 29th, 2025

It’s been more than 3 years since our children fled the violence in Port au Prince, as well as the only home many of them ever knew. Since then, they have been adjusting to life in the rural area of Ste. Suzanne, about an hour outside of Cap Haitian.  Living in small, rented rooms, the children have missed the feeling of living as a family, and at times the tight quarters have been oppressively restrictive.  Everyone is excited to watch the new home move from plans on paper to actual walls and floors, and are looking forward to having bathrooms, space for eating together, studying, and breezes to cool off the hot days. 

After carefully researching the best contractors and builders, an excellent team has been assembled, and the building is going up faster than we ever expected!  

With your continued generous donations, it won’t be long before our children can once again have a proper home.

Many thanks!

HAITI – SUMMER CIRCUS CAMP

September 29th, 2025

Repeating the successful circus camp of last summer, Amurtel once again offered a free day camp in our Port au Prince center.  This year saw over 300 hundred children from Vale Bourdon, Garnier, Djobel and Delmas 60 eagerly showing up each day for crafts, gymnastics, and performances. Many new children attended this year, having moved to the area after being displaced by the gang violence consuming the city. For them, as for all the children, each day was a special window of safety and happiness.
