Men and women are learning to sew in Northwest Haiti.
Waves of Mercy - Port-de-Paix
Our Port-de-Paix sewing program, which is led by Professor Michel, has been teaching students how to sew since 2015. To date, two classes have successfully graduated from the three year sewing program.
Our third class started on December 13, 2021. We’re looking forward to watching this group develop their sewing skills over the next three years.

Northwest Haiti Christian Mission - Mole St. Nicolas
In January 2022, we started our first sewing program for the teenagers who live in the Mole St. Nicolas Children’s Home. The goal is to teach these students a valuable skill that they can use to help support themselves when they leave the Children’s Home. The class is taught by Kendy, who graduated from the Mole St. Nicolas sewing program in 2021.

Northwest Haiti Christian Mission - Mole St. Nicolas
The sewing program has gone over so well in the village of Mole St. Nicolas that we’re once again teaching two adult sewing classes. On December 13, 2021, twenty-two students started their three year journeys in learning how to sew. The classes are taught by Professor Johnson, who is a 2018 graduate of the Port-de-Paix sewing program.

“This ministry is changing lives in our community. It’s giving ladies who are often abused/mistreated a chance to support their family and stand on their own.
It’s the only sewing class within a 3-hour walking distance. I’m grateful for the support & sacrifices made so that we can not only provide jobs but show them Jesus in a very tangible way. This class is creating disciples and a sisterhood of support!”
