Mercy and Sharing

Mercy & Sharing was co-founded by Susie and Joe Krabacher in 1994 as a non-profit public charity. Mercy & Sharing has been working in Haiti for 15 years and employs more than 160 Haitians in their operations there.

The passion and mission of Mercy & Sharing is simple; to provide hope, love, and opportunity to the abused, abandoned, and disabled children of Haiti. They do this through a variety of relief and development programs which are funded by private contributions.

Mercy & Sharing owns and operates two orphanages, a mobile clinic, three schools and feeding programs across the country. The mission has expanded in recent years to providing food aid to the elderly and oppressed in the Cap Haitian region of northern Haiti as well.

Mercy & Sharing’s unpaid Board of Directors and co-founders contribute more than 100% of all overhead and administrative expenses. All general, outside donations go directly to Mercy & Sharing programs in Haiti.

What they do and why they do it

Just 500 miles off the Florida coast the 2nd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti, shares the island of Hispanola with the Dominican Republic. The tiny island nation of Haiti is home to more than 9 million people with 80% of the population living in poverty and 54% living in abject poverty. All of Mercy & Sharing's programs are in the country of Haiti. .

  • Almost ½ of all Haitians never go to school, only 2% complete secondary education
  • 2.2% of the population is infected with HIV/AIDS (the highest prevalence outside of Africa)
  • Only 46% of Haitians have access to clean drinking water
  • 30% of the population is either ill or under weight
  • 7% of Haitian children are enslaved . 10% of the child population dies before age 4 .
  • The unemployment rate is estimated at 70%
  • Haiti’s arable land is deforested with no topsoil

Mercy and Sharing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation. All donations are tax deductible
