Haiti Mission Trips - In January of 2010, a violent earthquake shook the most populated area of Haiti, and the world watched in horror as the media revealed the widescale death and destruction. Already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti had no way to recover on its own. In the following months, numerous volunteers and millions of dollars poured in to assist the relief efforts, yet the needs still outnumbered the resources. 

In some regions, estimates predict over 70% of the structures fell during the primary quake and subsequent aftershocks. In the end, some towns lost more than 20% of the population.

Today, many of the aid organizations have left, yet the country continues to severely struggle. In the Port-Au-Prince region, unemployment hovers at a staggering 80%, and thousands of people continue to dwell in tent cities.
