Since last year’s earthquake in Haiti a groundswell of individuals, businesses, churches and organizations have partnered with Convoy of Hope to help Haitians. Recently, a church and a leading shoe manufacturer donated items for distribution in Haiti.
“Our friends and partners continue to amaze us with their generosity,” says Jeff Nene, public relations officer for Convoy of Hope. “There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti who need help and our partners keep demonstrating that they are as bent on helping Haiti as we are.”

Nene points to Hope Community Church in Springfield, Mo. Recently, the church donated funds to purchase 40,000 doses of cholera medication. Convoy of Hope added an equivalent batch and was able to ship 80,000 doses to Haiti where Mission of Hope — Convoy of Hope’s in-country partner — is dispensing it.
“Developing partnerships to help people in need is a cornerstone of Convoy of Hope’s work,” says Nene. “We could not do what we do without our partners.”
According to Nene, a leading manufacturer of shoes donated 15,000 pairs of shoes for children enrolled in Convoy of Hope’s feeding initiatives in Haiti. The shoes are already being distributed.
Since the earthquake last year Convoy of Hope has expanded its feeding initiatives in Haiti to more than 25,000 children each school day.
