Northwest Haiti Christian MissionThe Northwest Haiti Christian Mission was established in Haiti in 1978 after a group of missionaries traveled there and witnessed the physical and psychological suffering of under-privileged Haitians. The missions headquarters is located in Frankfort, Kentucky. The mission is located in the city of St. Louis du Nord. On the mission property there are six churches, the "Tender Lambs Birthing Center", a surgical unit, a burn unit, a Physical therapy/Occupational therapy (PT/OT) center, a center for premature babies, six schools, an elderly feeding program, feeding the thousand program, and a nutritional program that provides food for malnourished children and nutritional training for their mothers. The campus also serves as a home to American work groups, which make many trips each year to Haiti. From there, they travel to various mission projects along the coast or in the mountains. The mission employs preachers and school teachers who live in Haiti. The mission also has an orphanage in Port-de-Paix, 8 miles (12.8km) away from St. Louis du Nord. It was founded in 1979 because of a recent, and severe, drought, which killed many people and left many children without guardians. External link
