More Info

Haiti H2O began in 2006 as a partner ministry with Luther and Carol Hansley for the work being done in the Haitian villages of Basin Camin and St. Martain. The focus was primarily on securing funding to help develop sustainable business projects in these villages, like a bread oven and community farming projects. The ministry focus transitioned in 2007 when the Hansleys ended their time of mission work in Haiti.

We are now doing the work of partnering churches in Haiti with churches in the United States by leading short-term mission trips. In November 2007, we received our final 501(c)3 approval from the IRS.
