MOST CURRENT EFFORTS

PGF began (October of 2021) an immediate effort to send aid for food, water, some medical assistance and even monetary donations to relieve the cost of funerals. This community has few resources including no electricity or running water. PGF has an established dedicated team of Haitians to help carry out this new mission.

Tragedy, stifling inflation, scarcity of food and the other necessities result in unbearable hardships.

WINTER 2024

We were able to care for RoRo with food, clothing and medical care. As an example we were able to follow his care for years and even help provide for his funeral.

ALONG WITH TRAGEDY GOOD CAN EMERGE

School additions (Spring 2023) will replace the final canvas rooms.

PGF SUPPORTS TEACHERS IN 3 SCHOOLS

PGF now supports teacher salaries in 3 local schools. This donation can benefit 700 students. The Haitian government has been unreliable to pay the teachers their earned wages. PGF has helped with salaries to keep teachers motivated to continue teaching without giving up hope.

Improving healthcare opportunities have also arisen. PGF supplies funding for medications and remote home visits in Haiti when needed.

Kenya

A partnership between Patti VanderLoop and Joshua Chemabus (PICOS) started 15 years ago. We offer financial support and bring a mattress to financially wanting individuals of Kenya. For example November 2024 produced 17 home visits up in the remote areas of the mountains. The water source project was also completed.

The Kenyas who have been visited

are so grateful. they are encouraged to "Love One Another" and share when they have any ability to do so.

This is the area in the home where this family slept. Many of our friends have never slept on a mattress in 80 years of life.

The roof of this house was repaired for

a single woman who was so unsafe in her own home.

In October Patti and Joseph spoke to

children in 5 schools about health: Handwashing, Dental care and Exercise/activity and Being Respectful of others, and How to deal with Anger.
