Activity 2

Nutrition programs: mercy & sharing operates seven different feeding programs at their schools, clinic, and orphanages and in two small villages in the cap haitian area of northern haiti. Mercy & sharing cooks and serves more than 13,500 meals every week. Since the earthquake mercy & sharing has been distributing 120 tons of food to over 40 licensed organizations, reaching 40,000 people. Each meal offers a grain, a protein (meat or dry fish), and one or two vegetables. Clean water is always provided. The meals vary in nature but always provide balanced nutritional value. In 2009 more than 830,000 meals were provided to families.

Activity 3

Education: mercy & sharing schools (the john branchizio school in cazeau, the cite soleil school and the williamson campus school) employ 46 haitians as teachers who currently teach 656 students who otherwise would not be in school. The curriculum is based on the curriculum established by the government of haiti: science, math, geography, history, french, and grammar. In addition, a significant part of the curriculum aims to teach life skills, health and hygiene and concepts of integrity, community responsibility and participatory democracy. 98% of mercy & sharing students who have taken the state exam, required by the ministry of education, have passed this is compared to a national average of only 40%. As part of the childrens daily educational experience, mercy & sharing provides all students with a hot nutritious meal and clean water five days a week, year-round. All students are also part of a vaccination program in partnership with the haitian ministry of health.
