Reach out to Haiti is a not-for-profit Christian organization which serves people through providing humanitarian needs in the disaster-struck nation of Haiti.
Barbara Walker, our founder, has been working to provide basic needs to Haitians for over twenty years, and has facilitated the adoptions of over 700 literally helpless children to the best loving homes possible. Reach Out to Haiti has also teamed up with Air Mobile Ministries to support disaster relief efforts throughout the world. From Pakistan to New Orleans, we have striven to deliver desperately needed supplies to people struggling to endure disasters which occur too frequently in this turbulent world. Barbara’s work includes operating Ruuska Village, a walled community in Bon Repos, Haiti, which is a safe haven and refuge for mothers and children fleeing dangerous environments.
Ruuska Village manages a medical clinic, basic supplies, a well and clean water, and round-the-clock power generated on-site through a generator and inverters. The village is surrounded with twelve-foot protective walls for the safety of residents, and has a small garden area to grow garden vegetables.
In addition to these facilities, there are sixteen individual housing units, food and non-food supply depots, a small school/church building, and of course a playground for the children. Thanks to the kindness of our donors, Reach Out to Haiti has also been able to provide local children, and some adults, with tuition assistance for schooling. Reach Out to Haiti houses children awaiting a family both at Ruuska Village and at other locations locally, and operates on volunteer power and by employing local mothers, which helps to provide them with both a modest income and introduction to safer child-care practices.
While we at Reach Out To Haiti focus primarily on facilitating adoptions, we are a Christian, faith-based group and are committed to showing God’s love, and in doing so we are active in providing assistance to Haiti’s extremely impoverished communities by distributing donations of:
- Clothing (suitable for the hot, humid Haitian climate)
- Non-perishable food
- Medical supplies
- Medical assistance
- School supplies
- School uniforms
- Books
- A daily meal for school aged children of orphanages and poor families
- Baby care items
These are just a few of the many common items which are so desperately needed in Haiti. There are many other donations which can do just as much good. These efforts are made possible by the generous contributions and support from caring people from all over the world, like you. We members of the Reach Out to Haiti community thank you for your generous contribution to solving the problems not just of a struggling nation, but of an individual child in need. No meal, no pair of shoes or even laces, no single drink of water, no life-preserving vaccination, no moment spent caring for those in need, is taken for granted.
