Life-changing ways we use donations for our ministry in Haiti.

Five hundred miles off the coast of Florida, Haiti is a country in unimaginable need. Unfortunately, most people only hear bad news about Haiti, which saddens me. I have so many friends in Haiti; they are some of the kindest, nicest people I’ve ever known.

Unfortunately, Haiti is often held to a higher standard than elsewhere. Many of you have seen the latest headlines: Billions Spent in Aid to Haiti, But Little Good Done! The problem is the billions were never spent in Haiti because they never made it to Haiti!

When the earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, and ¾ of a million people died, one extremely well-known, US-based multinational disaster relief foundation spent $80 million dollars buying new computers for their offices around the US. It’s funny that Haiti was the one faulted for this. The question that needs to be asked is, how was it Haiti’s responsibility for misspending money they never received? Only a few months later, the same disaster relief group was back out there asking for relief for a tsunami on the opposite side of the world. And what about one foundation president who was called before Haiti’s Senate to answer for the hundreds of millions he raised for earthquake relief that never made it to build one house in that devastated country?

During the first year after the earthquake, $150,000 was donated from our many friends – $20,000 of which went for food relief and $130,000 to build and ship a medical clinic to Haiti. Fourteen years later, Aslan’s Clinic of Hope in L’Acajou continues to serve hundreds of Haitian children & families each day. Every penny of the $150,000 was accounted for and spent for Haiti!

Remember, Aslan is not a “drive-by” ministry. We don’t dump food bags off the backs of trucks and drive away as quickly as possible. Everything we do – in Haiti and in our programs in America – is relationship-driven. We know each and every child and their families by name. Our Haitian director, Israel Joseph, has been a friend since our first visit to Ouanaminthe, Haiti, in July of 1995. Every penny we spend in Haiti goes through our Aslan accounts. Unlike the billion-dollar foundations that pretend to care about the people of Haiti, ASLAN TRULY DOES CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE!
