At Aid For Haiti, our mission is to provide essential support to Catholic Parishes in Haiti, which is one of the poorest nations in the world. We focus on delivering fresh water, food, clothing and a Catholic education, thereby affording individuals with the tools necessary to break the cycle of poverty.
"Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." 25:34-36
Your generous donations help us provide essential services in Haiti, including fresh water, food, clothing, and education. These services are distributed through St. Benoit Catholic Church. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those in need. Join us in making a difference!

More than 97% of all money collected goes directly to serving the poor in Haiti. The 3% that does not serve the poor directly, covers mostly credit card fees associated with donations.
Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to travel to Haiti. The gang-related violence has led to the U.S. Department of State’s highest advisory level: "Do Not Travel." We will continue to monitor the situation and update you here.
Aid for Haiti was started to continue the partnership between Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mandeville, LA and Saint Benoit Catholic Church in Haiti. The mission is now run by a group of mostly Catholic men and women who want to continue this important mission.
The funds are wired directly to the account of Saint Benoit Parish. Msgr. Wildor Pierre distributes the funds based on the agreed upon budget.
Msgr. Wildor prepares a budget that is agreed upon by AidForHaiti. Typically, the funds are used for Teacher salaries, Student hot lunch program, Administrative costs of St. Benoit, Fresh water for the community and emergency repairs.
There are currently 450+ students enrolled in the St. Benoit Catholic school. Each one receives uniforms, hot meals and any educational materials they require? In addition, the entire community of 9,000 residents are provided fresh drinking water. Fresh drinking water is crucial because it prevents serious illness like cholera, typhoid fever, giardiasis, E.coli, salmonella and hepatitis A. Also, the most needy in the community receive emergency food supplies.
