Giving Tuesday has always been an important day. It’s a global movement for compassion—a chance for us to come together to celebrate and practice generosity.
But this year, your Giving Tuesday gift might be more important than ever. That’s because your gift could help feed one of the world’s most vulnerable populations: children in Haiti.
Haiti has been facing ongoing gang violence that has caused widespread fear, uncertainty, and displacement. The recent replacement of the prime minister and the temporary closure of the airport in Port-au-Prince highlight the worsening situation.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Haiti is facing an unprecedented hunger crisis, with the World Food Programme reporting that one in two Haitians is experiencing acute hunger. The armed violence has disrupted the distribution of food, and inflation remains devastatingly high, making it nearly impossible for many families to afford the food they need.
In this past year, the majority of the children we serve have been forced to flee their homes and are staying with friends or relatives in safer areas. While we are so grateful that every child has a place to live, staying with relatives can mean overcrowded homes and many mouths to feed.
The staff in Haiti are working tirelessly to make sure each child receives regular meals from our ministry, often putting their own safety at risk in the process, but they need your help.
This Giving Tuesday, will you help feed vulnerable children in Haiti? Your gift of $45 will provide hot meals for 30 children.
Your generosity makes a world of difference to each child who is touched by it. One child named Virgil* said, “When I go to eat at Children of the Nations, I am fed . . . If I were to thank Children of the Nations for everything they have done for me, it wouldn’t be enough.”
By giving compassionately, you are showing these children the gracious love of God, a love they can carry with them throughout their lives. Charles*, one of the boys served by our ministry, said, “Jesus helps take care of my family. Even though there is insecurity in my area, He allows me to go to school, and He takes away anything bad from my life . . . When I am sad, He gives me strength to face life’s challenges.”
Will you come together with us this Giving Tuesday to help bring God’s hope and love to the turmoil in Haiti? Your gift of $45 will put hot meals into the stomachs of 30 vulnerable children.
