Every Number Represents a Child

Meet Pastor Chedet

As a child Chedet attended Poteau in the Artibonite area, a school with a Trinity HOPE feeding program.  The teachers at Poteau shared the love of Christ while Trinity HOPE provided a nutritious meal daily.  When he wasn’t in school, he held a Bible Club for children and adults in his community.  He often asked God why he was on this earth wondering how he could best serve Him.  Chedet remembered the Bible teaching he received at Poteau and felt led to the community of Piquet.  He is a leader in the mountainous area and serves as their Pastor.  Then Chedet started a school at Piquet and applied for a feeding program.  The prayer was heard and his students are being fed daily.  Now Chedet has started a new adventure as a Trinity HOPE Feeding Program Director, completing the cycle where he is now impacting thousands of kids with a meal each day.

Eternal Impact

Economic Impact

Creating Jobs

Developing Leaders

  • We follow the tenets found in the Gospel of Matthew: to feed those who are hungry, in service of our LORD, and go forth and make disciples of all nations. To advance God’s Kingdom, Haiti desperately needs to train up more “servants”. These children attending Christian schools when trained effectively become the little missionaries God calls them to be. They then go home and teach their families what they learned about Jesus Christ in school.

  • In addition to the 54 dedicated Haitian employees working directly for Trinity HOPE, our programs also support the creation of the following jobs:

    • 700+ Cooks

    • 21 food vendor companies and their employees

    • Numerous employees in the transportation industry to transport the food.

  • By purchasing all the food we serve from local vendors, we invest over $4,000,000 per year in the local Haitian economy. Adding in the salaries paid for jobs created, we impact and improve the lives of thousands of Haitian families each year. 

    Each month Trinity HOPE buys approximately

    • #### pounds of rice

    • ### pounds corn

    • ### pounds of beans

  • We believe Haiti must continue to move towards self-sufficiency, striving one day to not need on-going help. Trinity HOPE has trained and developed our Haitian Feeding Program Directors to totally manage the programs in Haiti. We do not have any Americans on the ground in Haiti to run the programs. Each August we bring all the feeding program directors together for on-going training and further development of management skills.

Shared Support Model

What is Shared Support? Trinity HOPE pays the vast amount of the feeding program costs, but the school must also pay a small amount. Currently, most schools pay approximately 5% of the cost. This provides the opportunity for the school and parents to participate in the responsibility of feeding the children.

Each school is also required to have a paid cook to prepare the food daily. As a second part of Shared Support, once a school exceeds 75 meals per day, the school is required to pay their cook’s salary.

Partnering with the schools through Shared Support allows Trinity HOPE to feed more children. Trinity HOPE does not want Haiti to be dependent on us. Shared Support is a way the school can responsibly invest in helping feed their students a daily nutritious meal.

How is the Amount Determined? The percentage of Shared Support is determined when the school applies for the feeding program and is decided based on the number of students, the school’s structure, and their ability to pay. All money received through Shared Support is used to expand new feeding programs in additional schools.

Shared Support is a way the school can contribute to feeding their children and to move towards self-sufficiency.
