World Poverty:

Tallahassee Can Be Part

of the Solution

Hope 2 Haiti is Beneficiary of 

Proceeds from Online Sales of GrapevineDiscounts.com cards 

from Jan 19th thru 28th


About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds. Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.


Yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone.

 

The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty.


They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves.

 

Being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and often sick.

 

This makes them increasingly less able to work, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier.

 

This downward spiral often continues until death for themselves and their families.

 

Tallahassee Resident and Hope to Haiti Founder, Scott Bonnell with a friend in Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, yet it sits only 700 miles off the coast of Florida.

 

In recent years, the number of children forced to live on the street has grown exponentially. The realities of large families with low or no income have forced mothers and fathers to abandon their children.

 

Children are malnourished and are desperate for food and medical care.
Most impoverished families cannot afford to send their children to
school.

 

Haiti is too close to ignore.

 

"No one can do everything

BUT everybody can do something"

Hope to Haiti has moved beyond the failed models of charity towards sustainable communities, economies, and lifestyles.

 

They understand the need to inspire hope and create models that allows others to create their own hope for their futures.

They know the greatest help we can give is to permit people to develop their own lives so that ultimately they are free of the need for outside support or
intervention.


This shift has moved us to clean water, transportation, agriculture and micro-financing opportunities. They want to empower and enable Haitians to lift themselves out of poverty. It takes compassion, endurance, and a constant focus on HOPE.

 

Since we began our efforts in Haiti we have provided assistance through hurricanes,
cholera, civil unrest and the devastating earthquake.

 

Help us bring HOPE.
