Welcome To CODEP

Haiti Fund, Inc. is dedicated to the work in the country of Haiti known as the Comprehensive Development Project (CODEP). CODEP is the primary work and ministry of Haiti Fund, Inc. We are seeking to serve Jesus Christ under a covenant between the Episcopal Church of Haiti and the Presbyterian Church (USA).

CODEP has several efforts which include watershed rehabilitation, economic development, education programs, and health initiatives all of which are ecumenical in nature and available to residents. In addition, we have a support facility at L’Acul that serves not only as the headquarters for the work of CODEP, but also as the residence for missionaries and as a guest house for visiting groups. If you would like to learn more about CODEP and Haiti Fund, Inc., the programs we are pursuing and how you can help, please tour our web site using the navigation buttons at the left and choose to learn about what CODEP is as well as read our latest news.

Our Mission and VIsion

Our Vision is of a land of plenty in the mountains of Haiti where the people live in peace and have embraced a plan to restore God’s creation. In this place the residents enjoy good health, quality education and economic stability so that they can live together as a thriving community of God’s children.

Our Mission is to cooperate with and assist the people of rural Haiti by initiating, funding, administering, and sustaining development programs aimed at increasing self-sufficiency.

For a number of months, we have had an article posted here which describes with wonderful clarity what the “Haiti Experience” is really like, especially from the perspective of one who is making a visit for the first time. Now, we replace that article for one which is an essay on the thoughts, actions, feelings, and discernment from God which come from the experience. This article, by Rev. Michelle Wahila, provides yet another humbling and moving way to describe what CODEP’s development project is all about. Enjoy. (You will be interested to know that both authors, Amy Lewis and Michelle, have recently been elected to the board of directors of Haiti Fund, Inc., where their perspective and energy can be captured to further the work in mission and love directed toward the people of Haiti).
