About this facility
- Mission
- The Haiti Mission was formed by members of St. Bridget Church of Schriever, Louisiana in 1999. Since then, the organization has grown to include volunteers of many faiths and churches throughout Louisiana, the United States and Haiti. Its primary focus is to provide basic humanitarian aid to the Church Parish of Our Lady of Assumption in the Diocese of Jeremie, one of the poorest areas of rural Haiti. The first and foremost goal of the project is to provide potable water within 500 feet of every family in this area. Other projected activities include initiatives in the field of education, health, improved housing, and other basic material needs. A long range vision is to help the villagers establish independent economic development by providing them with agricultural business opportunities that utilize their own resources.

Our Projects in Addition to Drilling Water Wells
Although water is essential for life, other goals of the Haiti Mission involve education for the children and an improved economy for the people we serve. To do this, the Mission established three schools with a combined enrollment of 750 students. We serve as a major employer with a payroll comprised of 24 teachers, a nurse, four well drillers, two pig farm attendants and a veterinarian.
Each year, our shoe program provides much needed footwear for the children. Through the pig farm, approximately 100 pigs have been distributed in the community. We are in the process of starting a chicken farm with the intent of providing eggs for the students as part of our “Feed the Children Program”. Improving the quality of life through improved housing and aid to the needy is another goal. In April, assistance was provided to 340 families.
