Jean is a graduate of Compassion’s program in Haiti, and now lives in Canada. Our team had the opportunity to spend some time with him to hear his story…

Jean was born in Trouin, Haiti. Many families, including his own, lived in poverty. “There was no safe drinking water (potable water), no electricity, no employment opportunities. One could say that it would be very difficult to function in these conditions.”

Life changed when Jean was registered at the Compassion centre at a local church. Because of Compassion’s child sponsorship program and a simple gift from his sponsor, the trajectory of Jean’s life would change. This simple gift made an impact that is still multiplying today.
