When teams travel to Haiti with SMI they have the opportunity to minister to youth in a variety of settings including, schools, clubs and sports camps.
While we cannot take teams to Haiti, we continue providing the young boys and girls the opportunity to participate in soccer training. SMI sponsors several tournaments during the year and engage the communities in these events.
Our women's ministry includes prenatal and newborn care education classes at two locations. The class at the local hospital is taught by one of the staff nurses. The class at the Health & Education center in Kamitan is taught by a nurse/midwife. The women receive instruction in nutrition, breast-feeding, childbirth, and infant care.
Regular meals are provided for the primary school children, and the local churches are provided funds to meet critical needs in their communities.
When we are able we take medical and dental teams who work in the local communities. These clinics minister to the physical needs of the Haitian people, many of whom do not have access to heath care or medical facilities.
