Haiti is the least developed country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest countries in the world with an estimated 80% of the population living in abject poverty.
Four hours north of the Hatian capital, Port-au-Prince is the city of Laraque with a population of 9000 – the majority of its inhabitants being children. Food shortages due to drought or flooding has left the community in chronic hunger and malnutrition making it difficult for many families to eat more than once per day and in harsher times, only once every two days. A feeding program will be set up to target 60 of the poorest families in the community to provide them with enough rice to combat malnutrition.
$22.50 will provide rice for 30 people for one day.
