Made with Xara Web Designer who we are Bethlehem Ministry, Inc. is a non-profit organization created for the sole purpose of aiding Haiti’s poor. Our venture  into the poverty stricken nation began a quarter century ago when we partnered with Haitian educator and visionary  Rev. Jean M. Bruno to establish a series of elementary schools in some of the nation's less recognized and lesser  served regions. We transitioned to a 501(c)(3) corporation in 2001, out of a desire to mount a more comprehensive  attack on Haiti’s poverty struggles. Committed to working in the lesser known and serviced parts of the country, our  US based non-profit planted itself in the underdeveloped northeastern region of the country, specifically Terrier  Rouge. Since “adopting” Terrier Rouge as our home, we have worked to establish a Montessori based pre-K through 8th grade school (Ecole St. Barthélémy); an income generating, sustainable agricultural project (Jatrofa Pepinyè);  and a medical clinic (Clinique Espérance et Vie), which seeks to meet the health and wellness needs of the local  population. Our Board of Directors consists of 16 dedicated people who have all traveled to Haiti and observed the projects we  support.  We regularly travel to Haiti, maintaining close ties there, and remaining intimately involved in the ministries  we support.  In this way we are able to verify that our donations are properly applied. We approach the people of Haiti in love, looking for ways to work with them to create opportunities for advancement  toward a healthy, happy life.  If has often happened that people have visited, enjoyed their stay, seen the  opportunities for work that suit them, and returned to start a ministry of their own.  If you have an interest, we  encourage you to plan a visit.  Father Bruno enthusiastically welcomes visitors and encourages anyone who is  interested to plan a visit as the first and most important step to becoming involved.
