A major 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Southwest Haiti on Saturday, August 14, 2021. The death toll is currently 1,300 and thousands are still missing. At least 949 homes, seven churches, two hotels and three schools were destroyed. More than 723 homes, one prison, three health centres and seven schools were heavily damaged.
Our sewing programs are located in the Northwest so they felt it, but we aren't near ground zero. However, many are afraid to sleep indoors for fear of aftershocks.
Please continue to pray for Haiti.
