The island country of Haiti suffered what is described as apocalyptic destruction on Jan. 12. As the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck, thousands of buildings crumpled and collapsed, trapping tens of thousands of men, women and children beneath heavy concrete slabs. The death toll in the capital city was staggering. In the rural communities where Star of Hope works; schools, churches, and homes were destroyed or severely damaged.
Star of Hope is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with thirteen projects in Haiti that benefit more than 6,000 children who were affected by the destruction. The mission of Star of Hope is to carry out Christian and humanitarian programs, principally involving the care, up-bringing and education of children and youth.
