THE IMPACT OF THE CONCERT AND YOUR DONATIONS
Through a partnership between Church of the Advent Hope and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), funds raised will support ADRA's Fishermen Empowerment project in Petite Rivière, Leogane, Haiti. Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, has the world's third highest hunger rate. Despite ample stocks of fresh fish in the waters surrounding Haiti, most Haitians must import dried or canned fish because the country's subsistence-level fishing industry cannot preserve and transport native seafood. The Fishermen Empowerment project invests in Haiti's fishing industry and the lives of Haitian fishermen and their families, providing participants with boats and hoop nets and training to preserve and market their seafood in an environmentally sustainable manner.
