Representing 70% of the 8 million people on this impoverished Island, Haiti's children endure illiteracy, child slavery, and high mortality rates. The statistics are alarming: • 10% of the child population in Haiti will die before the age of 4. • 7% (300,000) of the children in Haiti are enslaved. They are as young as 3 years old. They often suffer sexual, emotional, physical abuse and possibly death. • 45% of the Haitian population is illiterate. • 70% of the population lives below poverty level. • 30% of the Haitian population is either ill and or underweight. The possibilities of life have become the probabilities of death for many Haitian children. They must evolve in an environment that perpetuates poverty, illiteracy, child slavery, and dead children. Is this what we want the children of Haiti to contribute to the global community? Mercy and Sharing is answering "No!" to that question everyday, promoting Haiti's plight around the world. M&S is revealing what is now, and will be tomorrow for the children of Haiti through our efforts.
