2010 Haiti Earthquake
Relief Effort – Making It Personal

2. The Devastation of Leogane, Haiti
Leogane is located about 20 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It
sits directly atop the fault line which caused the devastating
earthquake on January 12, 2010.
Many experts believe Leogane may have been at the epicenter of
the 7.0 magnitude earthquake. In less than one minute, 90% of its
buildings were destroyed or damaged.
Before the earthquake, Leogane’s population was 134,000. Some
estimates of the death toll in Leogane has been as high 30,000.
Nearly everyone in the city was touched by death.
Headlines tell a tale of hardship and neglect of Leogane.

3. Aid Was Slow Reaching Leogane
Several news reporters observed that no search and rescue
teams reached Leogane for six days. The only immediate medical
aid was provided by a handful of medics from Doctors Without
Borders and nursing teachers and students who had survived the
collapse of a local nursing college.
The mayor reported hearing cries coming from the buildings for
days following the earthquake, but he had no equipment to
remove the debris. The cries slowly became silent.
Roody Joseph, a board member of Promised Provision
Ministries, was in Leogane at the time of the earthquake. He
witnessed the people of Leogane trying to dig out family and
friends; only to have structures crumble entombing the rescuers.
Large aid groups have slowly arrived but we are making God’s
touch of provision and love personal to those we serve. Donations
go directly from your hands through ours to theirs.

4. Aid Was Slow Reaching Leogane
Pastor Wayne with displaced children
Two weeks after the major earthquake, Pastor Wayne
Golden, another board member, was able to join Roody.
Together, they visited tent cities housing survivors.
Repeatedly, they heard the cries of mothers suffering from
malnutrition who could no longer produce breast milk and were
in need of formula.
Roody and Wayne began to witness dozens of infants under
the age of six months being abandoned in the streets and in
fields.
Reaching the world aid agencies, Roody and Wayne
discovered no one had formula; not the World Food
Fund, Samaritan's Purse, World Vision or Save The Children.

5. Relief Efforts – Assisting the Elderly and Infirm
Sixty-four year old Andre Mathurin, with the
three-month supply of food supplements, a
tent, a tarp, new shoes and eyeglasses we
delivered to him.
Brother Mathurin is honorary grandfather to the
teen boys’ in our Gideon Boys’ Club
program.
Without our assistance, Mathurin would most
likely not be alive today. He is too frail to
fight the mobs near the aid trucks and says
he is afraid to venture out into the crowds on
the streets.
And there are many others like him – the five
widows living together under a tree with no
shelter, no food and no security; the
amputee who no longer even has his
crutches and many others. We offer their
best chances for survival.

6. Relief Efforts – Marie Yolene Paulin
Marie Yolene Paulin is a two year old who was pulled from the rubble the day of the
earthquake. Her arm was badly burned. Initial treatment consisted of wrapping her
little arm in a towel. The pain and infection remained untreated until February 1st
when Roody met her.
He was able to transport Marie and her grandmother to receive medical treatment.
The doctor told Marie’s grandmother, had Marie’s burns been left untreated, she
most likely would have died within a week from the extensive infection afflicting her
arm.
Marie’s grandmother was unable to care for Marie,
so Roody helped place Marie in an orphanage where
she will be safe until the grandmother is able
properly care for her.

7. Relief Efforts – Rescuing and Safely Placing Abandoned Infants
Promised Provision Ministries partnered with Danita’s Children to help the abandoned
infants. Logistics teams in the U.S. and Haiti worked to find vehicles to transport about
36 infants and toddlers from Leogane to the northern province of Oanaminthe. These
children are now safe and cared for in the Hope For Haiti Children’s Center run by
Danita’s Children.

8. Relief Efforts – Distributing Formula
Roody, working with directors from two Leogane orphanages, has documented mothers with babies and
children at-risk across three camps. They estimate about 500 infants and toddlers are in need of assistance.
Personal information of mothers in need has been recorded and distribution schedules coordinated.
Mead Johnson has donated three pallets of Enfamil and toddler food.
Clay Corrigan of ApParent Project donated an SUV filled with food and diapers to feed 500 children and
visited the camps with Roody. Thank you to Clay for these supplies and a day’s use of his vehicle.
We have several residents from the Promised Provision Ministries home for girls and our boys’
program, ages 17-20, who will deliver the food. Groups
of teens will stock backpacks with food and supplies and personally
deliver to mothers at their camp sites.
These volunteer teens will spend time with the mothers and infants
and pray with each family, thanking God for His faithful provision during
such a cataclysmic event. What a wonderful service opportunity
and chance to share God’s love in a practical way!
Marie and Edwichge prepare to make a delivery

9. Relief Effort – Formula Distribution
• Roody and his team distribute formula and prayers throughout the tent camps.

10. Relief Effort – Restoring the School
Pastor Abraham Joseph is set to resume classes on the property of his Bethesda
primary school. Debris has been removed so that one wing is functional. Pastor
Abraham and his staff will offer two shifts of classes serving 400 children per shift.
Reopening the school will restore a sense of normalcy in the lives of the children. We
also hope to be able to help Pastor Joseph provide a feeding program of at least one
meal a day. We are pursuing options to obtain a three month supply of food for the
children and staff of the school.

12. Opportunity For Growth and Revitalization
OUR VISION at Promised Provision Ministries has always been to profoundly impact the future of the
lives of the people in Leogane, Haiti through the establishment of a self-sustaining village that will
provide for Christian education, health, safety and well-being of its youth.
We have made a down payment on a 20 acre parcel of land with an outstanding loan of only $17,000.
With the earthquake leveling Leogane, we have the opportunity to be God’s instrument to raise a
Christian village out of the ruins of concrete and rubble. It has been our Founder’s vision to utilize
geodome designs to change the landscape of Haiti.
The new village could be the first of its kind built with self-insulating buildings specially designed to
withstand hurricanes and earthquake damage.
Areas of Need: Payment of land and initial endowment to begin building the school and church.
