Food For The Poor Canada has finished building 30 out of 60 homes in Derac, Haiti. Thirty families have moved into their new homes. The next 15 homes are nearing completion, and the last 15 homes will be completed by this fall.

Food For The Poor Canada is committed to helping Haiti recover from the earthquake’s devastation as communities in southern Haiti deal with the aftermath. We are working with Food For The Poor Haiti to rebuild homes and respond to the greatest immediate needs of families affected by this disaster.

Food For The Poor is responding immediately following a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti’s southern peninsula, about 80 miles west of Port-au-Prince, early Saturday.

FFPC is busy preparing to get Jamaican students back-to-school, building sustainable communities in Honduras and Guyana, shipping and helping to distribute food across the Caribbean and Latin America.

So far in 2021, FFPC has shipped over 305,000 meals to Jamaica, and over $1.1 million in medicine and supplies to Haiti, Jamaica, and Honduras, with another container of food planned for Haiti in July.

Food For The Poor Canada, in partnership with CEPUDO, is working on building a sustainable community in San Antonio through a number of initiatives including building a school, supporting livelihood and income-generation projects, and building homes for families.

As the world prepares to return to a new normal, children across Jamaica will be getting ready to go back to school this fall. Unfortunately, access to education still remains a major challenge for students.

For students who have been thrust into an online learning environment, internet connectivity is only one hurdle, lack of a device is a more pressing issue.

Thanks to tremendous generosity and kindness, Silverstone Basic School is ready to welcome back students!
