Where We Work — Haiti
Geographically, it's hard to believe the western hemisphere is home to one of the poorest nations in the world. Less than 2,000 miles from the U.S. rests Haiti, a country with a tragic history of poverty and corruption.
Inter-United has traveled to Haiti for many years with a mission to love and serve through soccer clinics, community service & humanitarian aid.
We partner with the Happy House’s Ed Lockett Jr. – a Georgia native who has lived in Haiti for over 20 years. Apart from playing soccer and putting on clinics with the locals in Haiti, Inter-United travels to schools, hospitals, churches, and local neighborhoods to pass out supplies, food, and spread love to the Haitian people.
Ed has opened, and currently funds, five schools where each student is guaranteed at least one meal per day. Ed and Inter-United are currently looking for property to expand the capacity of the Happy House. Our eventual goal is to create a community home and training center for the Haitians and volunteers alike.
[Political unrest has temporarily suspended this project — we patiently await improvements in the area that will allow our teams to return & continue serving alongside the Happy House.]
