HOW PEACE PROJECT GOT STARTED IN HAITI

In 2009, Steve Johnson — then Director of Christadelphian Meal‑a‑Day of the Americas — met Esmath Sainval, a man with a compassionate heart and a dream for his community.

Every Saturday, Esmath used his own resources to run a small education and nutrition program for children in his neighborhood. He knew that many of them would never attend school, as nearly one‑third of Haitian children are excluded for financial reasons.

His dream was simple yet powerful: to give these children a chance at education.

​

With God’s help and support from Christadelphian Meal‑a‑Day of the Americas, that dream became reality. In 2011, a primary school for 100 children opened in a rented house. Today, 280 children are enrolled, and the vision continues to grow. Secondary school grades and a purpose‑built building soon followed, laying the foundation for what is now The PEACE Project in Haiti.
