Children with disabilities and their families
are often neglected or rejected in a culture that sees them as a curse rather
than as a precious gift from God. A classroom for children with disabilities
provides each church with an outreach to at least 25 children and their families and changes attitudes towards disability within their communities.
A program costs $100 a month to maintain.
With that money the church will pay a Haitian teacher and provide small
supplies for the children. Consider adopting or sharing the adoption of one of
these church classrooms.
