慈善组织聚焦海地
Haiti and GMercyU United in Spirit and Story
慈善组织聚焦海地 is a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. Its members are led to service and solidarity with people who are materially poor, especially those living in Haiti. They partner with the Haitian people to meet their unmet needs and we collaborate with like-minded organizations.
自2018年以来, the GMercyU community has embraced the efforts of this ministry by seeking opportunities to support on-ground efforts through service, 奖学金, 教育, 和筹款.

服务项目
GMercyU first eng年龄d with 慈善组织聚焦海地 (MFOH) in 2018 when a team of 教师, 工作人员, and student delegates visited Gros Morne, Haiti to learn about the various programs offered by MFOH. With an initial hope to eng年龄 with our Haitian partners through travel to Gros Morne, since then political unrest in Haiti and the global pandemic challenged us to explore creative ways to collaborate with our international partners from home.

This year, MFOH will bring Haiti to GMercyU with an on-campus water-collecting cistern. Help us reach our fundraising goal to ensure success!
To help our community better understand the work in Haiti and the importance of water in their communities, we've collaborated with 慈善组织聚焦海地 and the engineer who guides the building of cisterns to build a cistern on campus. Its presence will serve as a reminder of our connection to the ongoing work in Haiti.
The cistern will collect rain water to be used to irrigate the Campus Learning Garden located near Valie Genuardi Hall. 学生s, 教师, 和工作人员 have assisted in the building of the cistern.
We invite everyone to consider supporting this collaboration with the Sisters of Mercy and 慈善组织聚焦海地. 我们欢迎办公室, 部门, 类, 团队, and organizations to join with friends and colleagues to collects funds to support the building of our campus cistern.
The fundraising campaign began February 1, 2024 and continues through the Fall 2024 semester.
