Haiti is a country filled with resourceful people, vibrant culture, and stunning beauty. Yet the political situation and deep insecurity keeps the country mired in poverty, by some metrics reaching its worst level in decades, while foreign countries and international institutions remain reluctant to engage in better and more imaginative ways. Haiti is also home to many of this hemisphere's Episcopalians, many of which are in relationship with Episcopalians in the U.S., working hard together in creative ways even when the country is not in the news.
Episcopal Parish Network is committed to keeping the people of Haiti in the consciousness of members and the church at large. Through partnerships with groups like Food for the Poor, we emphasize the need and ways the faithful can help meet the needs of the people.
One of EPN’s newest partners, Locally Haiti, will join us to share about the current reality in Haiti. These leaders will focus on challenges and, more importantly, opportunities for partnerships in the health and healthcare spaces. Locally Haiti, a Colorado-based jubilee ministry, has been partnering with local institutions in Petit Trou de Nippes, Haiti for 34 years.
