Heading to Haiti Round 2

My name is Julie Kay Stallcup and I will be heading to Haiti June 25th-29th 2018 with my amazing family and some friends to help the orphans of Melissa's Hope.  We  bought a generator, beds, washing machine, dryer and stove with the money collected last year. I would like to raise money to be able to fix up the inside of the orphanage, buy food in bulk, and help in any medical needs that they might have. 

This year I will be taking my husband and kids with me to be able to experience all the amazing things we were able to do last year. 

Here are some staggering facts about the situation in Haiti:

42% of children less than five years of age suffer from stunting of growth.

Unemployment is now 90% in Haiti and 80% of Haiti’s people live in abject poverty.

There are over 400,000 children without parents in Haiti.

1 out of 5 children will die before the age of five.

Haiti has the highest maternal death ratio in the western hemisphere leaving many children orphaned within their first week of life.

More than 80% do not have access to clean drinking water.

In rural areas only 10 percent of the inhabitants have electricity

Haiti ranks among the worst three countries in the world in daily caloric intake per person.
