Grand Goave

Grand Goave is one of the oldest cities in Haiti, and was named Goâve by the pre-colonial inhabitants, the Amerindians. The Spanish called it Aguava at the end of the 16th century. The city is located a few miles west of Port au Prince along the north coast of the southern peninsula. The devastating earthquake of 2010 damaged up to 90 percent of the town.

In 2008, Lex and Renee Edme (Mission of Hope), were given the task of caring for thirty-one orphaned children by the Haitian government. Mission of Hope, not having a facility or programs to care for orphans, reached out to Hands and Feet and a much needed, temporary partnership was formed. A temporary home was built on the the campus of mission Hope in grand Goave, which was subsequently damaged during the earthquake.

Currently a permanent children’s village is being constructed under the direction of Drex and Jo Stuart, in Grand Goave on a property situated along side the main road from Port au Prince. The new village is destined to be a beautiful and functional setting for the growing hands and feet family.

The Grand Goave children’s village will be directed by our new onsite missionaries, Andrew and Angie sutton. We, at Hands and Feet, welcome team Sutton to the Hands and Feet crew!!!
