About Us
Mercyland Christian Mission, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian humanitarian organization, serving the poor and outcast people of Haiti with the purpose of making Jesus known. Mercyland Christian Mission focuses primarily on rescuing orphaned and neglected children from the streets and empowering families to thrive.
The Need
Haiti has a population of around 10 million, nearly half of the population are children under 18 years. In Haiti alone, there are nearly 1 million orphans/neglected children. Port-De-Paix, Haiti currently has over 3,000 children living on the streets according to children services officials. That number do not account for those in extreme poverty, and the restaveks crisis (restaveks are children that are used as slaves in return for food and shelter). Half of all the children under 5 are malnourished. Over 7% of children die at birth; 80 out of 1,000 Haitian children never see their first birthday. According to the United Nations, majority of child deaths are due to hunger, waterborne diseases, and epidemics.
After the 2010 earthquake, it is estimated that 100,000 to 500,000 people fled to the Northwest region of Port-De-Paix. Nearly 40% of this wave of internal migration consisted of children and young people. They are in desperate need.
