The mission work of the Kizito Family Haiti USA, Inc. is to provide financial and material assistance to Sister M. Paesie and her Kizito Famille religious community of six who live and work among the poorest of the poor in different parts of the Cite Soleil, Port au Prince, Haiti. This is the largest slum area of the Northern Hemisphere. The Kizito Famille was founded 2017 in Haiti. It was founded in order to provide safety, free education and shelter to the children living on the street and to bring the light of Jesus as requested by Jesus to Mother Teresa. The Kizito Famille community operates homes for children who had been on the streets and chose to leave the streets. The first homes were for boys because mostly boys are on the streets. And then we added homes for girls. Today we have six of these homes, four for boys and two for girls. Some of the children in the homes are orphaned, others are not. Most are not orphans but have left home either because of hunger, poverty, or because of being mistreated by their parents. We try to find their parents in order to reestablish family ties, reconcile the parents of the children, and offer the possibility to visit from time to time while remaining in our homes. Additionally, the Sisters created eight schools In these schools, varying ages of children who had never been to school are received and educated. A preschool was added in service to the younger children from our homes in 2022. In total about 1,510 children attend these free schools. In most cases, the school lunch is the only food most of these children will receive each day. Depending on financial resources amidst the Haitian unstable economy and food resources, there may not be meals available everyday in the schools. The Kizito Famille operate several activity centers for developing team soccer sports, recreation and craft activities. The idea is always to set up a place where children can be safe, protected and come to know Jesus. Future plans: • to address day to day food needs in the homes and schools • to secure each school property perimeters with block walls to create a barrier of protection from foot traffic often intending malicious activities • to expand the living quarters of the current convent home • to acquire another vehicle and motor bikes for transport
