Thomazeau Christian Elementary School
Thomazeau (pronounced Tom-ä-zō) is a city about an hour and a half northeast of Port-au-Prince, where many families face daily hardships. Hope for Haiti’s Children established a Hope Center on 21 acres northwest of the city. This center includes a mission house, a community water well, Camp Hope facilities, and Thomazeau Christian School—a beacon of education and hope. A well on the grounds supplies clean water, and each day, students receive a hot, nutritious meal, giving them the strength to learn, grow, and dream of a better future.

Current Needs – Thomazeau
Feed a Child – During the summer, when school is out and children no longer have access to daily school meals, we step in to help. Every Friday, children gather at school for a hot, nourishing meal and a fun-filled Vacation Bible School (VBS) program. Before they head home, each child receives a bag of rice and beans to share with their family, ensuring they have food for the days ahead. This program not only feeds their bodies but also uplifts their spirit. $50 per child for the entire summer
