Beyond Greenville- Food and Shelter

Partners in Agriculture/ Family Assistance Program: Partners in Agriculture/Family Assistance Program. This project combats the crisis of malnutrition in the Central Plateau by producing and distributing food to the people of this area. It educates, encourages, and assists these people to grow their own food, helping them to become self-sufficient. Each family involved is interviewed and their needs are assessed. Expert counsel is given in nutrition and agriculture. Families are provided seeds, trees and tools. Some families even receive a goat! This is a ministry that gives families opportunities to return to each new participating family, new seeds, baby goats and their own experiences and successes in harvesting and animal husbandry.

Corn, beans, and peanuts are harvested, processed and distributed to PIH. Farmers are being taught to restore their lands with seeds and tools.

Adopt-A-Child Cange:  We have assisted in the purchase of a home in Croix-des-Bouquets to be used to care for severely malnourished children. Father Val’s wife, Carmel, a nurse, is coordinator of this nutrition project. And we have provided funding for life-saving nutritional supplements and vaccines for the children of this area.  We provide the opportunity for Christ Church parishioners to adopt these children by providing money for their nutrional needs.
