Haiti feeding program-
Do not withhold good from those
to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not say
to your neighbor, 'Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it'
- when you have it with you.
Proverbs 3:27-28

UCT is preparing to establish
10 feeding distribution centers where 150 children will be
fed at least 5 days a week in each center.
The main focus will be on feeding these children
physically and Spiritually utilizing the Kids' EE program
as a start to the children's ministry and extending this to
cover a children and mother's Bible Study group and other
children's ministry. |

In a time like this when thousands
of children in Haiti
are doing all sort of things to survive the hardship
of Haiti especially now following the earthquake, some are
even eating mud cakes as
their regular meal..
Since early February 2008, Restoration Ministries
( Haiti) have decided to be God's hands extended to some of
these children by
providing meals for them at least 3 times a week for now.
UCT is looking to come alongside these existing
feeding programs and provide help and assistance to enlarge
and extend the program.
|
| Currently we have about 75 children
in that program; we are trusting God to double that number in
Jacmel alone. Thanks to all our friends who have been helping
us to be a blessing to those precious children.
Feel
free to sow a special financial seed of any kind
to our Ministry as we seek to practically show God's
love to the people of Haiti.
US $15 per month will feed a child and get
him/her involved in the After School Club.

Consider that the top 1% of the world's
richest people earn as much as the poorest 57%. When we talk
about the world's richest 1%, we are not talking about millionaires
living is luxury. If you are reading this article, there is
a good chance that you belong to this 1% group.

Information below sourced
from www.wfp.org
Every year, an estimated 38,000
children under the age of five die - almost one
out of three because of malnutrition.
|
| Haiti is the poorest
country in the Western hemisphere, and one of the most disadvantaged
countries in the developing world. It ranks 153 out of 177 countries
on the UNDP Human Development Index (2004). 75% of Haitians
live on less than US$2 per day, while 55% live on less than
US$1 per day. |
|
Chronic malnutrition is widespread among the most
vulnerable, with severe or moderate stunting affecting 42 percent
of children under five.
|
While easily
preventable, maladies like malnutrition and diarrhea kill
28 percent and 20 percent of children aged 0–5, respectively.
Food supply covers only 55 percent of the population and daily
food insecurity affects 40 percent of Haitian homes. |
| Haiti ranks along with Afghanistan
and Somalia as one of the three countries of the world with
the worst daily caloric deficit per inhabitant (460 kcal/day).
|
|
 |
Some 2.4 million Haitians cannot
afford the minimum 2,240 daily calories recommended by the World
Health Organization. |
A generous man will himself be blessed,
for he shares his food with the poor. Proverbs 22:9
