Grant #10: Groundbreaking for Christian Eldercare Home in Haiti
You are helping build a center in Haiti for elderly people who have outlived their families, some of whom are currently living in tents and deplorable conditions.
Jackie Rychel, Founder and President of Ministry in Mission, said, "The elderly in Haiti are the forgotten ones. They have outlived their families and have no one to care for them. Lutheran Women in Mission have faithfully provided strength, prayer, and financial assistance for Ministry in Mission to move forward with this important project. We are humbled and grateful."
The center is being built on the same property where an orphanage was constructed in 2014. Recent groundbreaking will allow Ministry in Mission to create a true community for Haitian Lutherans by providing a safe living environment for all Haitians in the surrounding area and particularly the forgotten elderly society.
