(As quoted from the HOM brochure)“Cite Soleil is commonly known as the worst slum area in the Western Hemisphere. Over 300,000 residents live in this unsanitary and crowded area. They are certainly some of the most underprivileged people in the world … and are without a doubt the poorest Haitians in the country.Most people live in one-room huts; the most fortunate families have tin roofs above their heads for protection from the elements. The roads in cite Soleil are mainly dirt roads. Jobs, food and money are virtually non-existent. Diseases run rampant; most residents have no access to regular health care.But the people of Cite Soleil desire to work, learn and study about God. You can fulfill their needs with your prayer and financial support through HOM.”
