A Canteen for Our Lady of Fatima School

 HAITI 

Catholic World Mission is undertaking this project with our friends at HaitiReach. With the partnership of the St. Brendan Parish in Cumming, GA., HaitiReach has already supported Our Lady of Fatima with clean water, teacher’s salaries, the construction of the school and a social hall, and funding for summer camps and an agricultural enrichment program.

All Are Welcome At the Banquet of the Lord. Ensure children in Haiti Have a seat at the table.

Every school day in Bassin-Zim, Haiti, three mothers brave the midday heat to tend to steaming pots of rice and beans. Their makeshift kitchen is protected from the elements only by torn canvas. They are responsible for feeding more than 250 students at Our Lady of Fatima School.

Some kids walk 3+ miles to get to school.

One Daily Meal is prepared and served by volunteer mothers on the school grounds.

Very Grateful

Building a Canteen for Kids With the generous support of Catholic World Mission donors and St. Brendan the Navigator parish in Cumming, Ga., HaitiReach is building a clean, modern kitchen and dining area for students in Bassin-Zim, Haiti. Children who used to eat sitting on the ground, surrounded by dirt and dust, will now dine at proper tables, where they can also join in prayer together.

Will you please help build a proper canteen for Our Lady of Fatima School?

For most of the children — and even their teachers — lunch may be the only meal they eat all day.

One by one, they line up to receive a ladle of food. Amidst the chaos of a meal, held on the dusty ground, the teachers work tirelessly to keep the food safe and clean. Prayers for the nourishing food, that has been so lovingly prepared, are rushed and scattered.

Through your generosity you can give these bright young students and devoted teachers a clean, safe place to share a meal and a moment of spiritual communion.
