About Haiti

The Facts

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and currently ranks #169 out of 189 countries on the World Bank's list. Literacy rates are 61%. Child mortality rates are 10 times higher than the United States.

The Opportunity

We didn't choose our Ministry name by accident. We're dedicated to helping create a SUSTAINABLE future for the people of La Victoire, Haiti. Creating a sustainable supply of basic necessities such as food and water is one of the most important things we do. But our biggest impact is on delivering a high quality education to children, sustainable agricultural economic opportunities, and soon, a steady source of basic healthcare.

SAI Missionary Team

 
Evens & Karina Paul

Evens and Karina founded SAI in March 2010 with a vision to bring hope to the people of Evens' home country, Haiti. As the hands and feet of Christ, SAI is committed to helping the La Victoire community create sustainable programs covering basic needs and economic opportunity.

Evens and Karina moved to Haiti full-time in 2018 but still travel back to the U.S. often to update SAI supporters of the mission's progress. They have two young daughters, Abbey and Hannah, who have taken quite well to living in Haiti!
