DISASTER RELIEF ASSISTANCE. A major rebuilding initiative from the devastation of Hurricane Dorian in 2019 continued in 2020. 7 Containers of building materials purchased and shipped to Grand Bahamas and Abaco. Dozens of homes have been repaired and 3 were totally rebuilt. For the 2020 Pandemic Disaster, HHI provided 14 local hospitals with PPE; Gloves, face masks, and isolation gowns. Funds were sent to 11 different countries to purchase locally available food for those who were out of work as a result of the quarantines and lockdowns. Additionally nearly 500,000 meals were sent to Zimbabwe and Zambia. Hurricane Eta/Iota. 240,000 meals sent to Nicaragua to help with disaster relief efforts and hundreds of water filters were sent to Honduras to help families who lost their access to clean water. Startup funds were provided to Mission Lazarus to build 10 homes for hurricane victims. WOMEN OF HOPE. Growth in the program warranted adding In-Country Coordinators in Kenya, and Zimbabwe. A new Savings Group was created in LaCoup Mardi Gras, HAITI. After Covid-19 Precautions were in place, one Women's Group was able to pivot from tent rentals to basket-making. Profits from baskets were targeted to maintaining banana trees that were planted with profits from tent rentals in 2019. EDUCATION. The education program in Haiti continues to thrive after a transition to native teachers
WATER DEVELOPMENT - Providing clean drinking water to people in under-developed areas of the world. Water Development Initiatives in 2020 were conducted in 10 countries: Haiti, Kenya, Lesotho, Ghana, Guinea, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In 2020, 61 new Water Wells were drilled. 363 broken wells were repaired and returned to a status of fully functioning. WALK4Water. Due to the limitations imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic, Walk4Water events continued in a virtual format. Despite the challenges, the events were immensely successful in utilizing technology and a new strategy.
M.A.G.I. - (Making A Godly Impact) Christians from all over the United States pack shoe-size gift boxes to be delivered to children in need, both physically and spiritually. Our partnership with 190 local churches and missionaries is the key to Making A Godly Impact. The M.A.G.I. Box Project started in 1997 with the first gift boxes delivered to children in Romania. Since then the gift box ministry has made a Godly impact in 8 countries around the world. Over 290,000 M.A.G.I. boxes have been delivered to children living in poverty. The majority of M.A.G.I. boxes are given to local churches and missionaries to distribute in their impoverished communities. Each gift box is given out with an joyful smile and each family receives a Bible and an invitation to learn about Jesus' love for them. Despite the impact of the Pandemic, in 2020, 18,946 M.A.G.I. Boxes were shipped to children in Honduras, Zambia, and the Texas/Mexico border.
