What began as the Pipeline of Hope in the 1980s, developed into St. Andrew’s HEARTS, an organization that helped build a church, built and staffed an elementary school, a trade school and an orphanage, and which began a feed program that still provides nourishment to Haitian children to this very day.
Supporters are making a difference in the lives of over 900 children by helping to cover the cost of educational programs and teachers’ salaries at four church-based schools in and around Cap Haitien, Haiti.
Funds also support a feed program for 36 children at Stella House Orphanage.
