Dubuisson Christian Elementary School
Dubuisson (pronounced Doo-bē-säw) is a small village just five miles northwest of Mirebalais, nestled along a major paved road. Blessed with fertile soil, the community thrives on agriculture, growing rice and other essential crops. At the heart of Dubuisson, the local school not only provides education but also serves as a source of nourishment and hope. A well on the school grounds ensures clean water for the children, and each day, students receive a hot, nutritious meal.

Current Needs – Dubuisson
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
