Loving Hands for the Needy, Inc
Since October 1990, John Miller has operated a non-denominational Church and orphanage for children in need of homes and shelter in Gonaives, Haiti.
This was followed in 2003 by the creation of Loving Hands for the Needy, Inc. It was a major expansion of the ministry to include a school, food distribution and a mobile medical unit.
John Miller on the early days of Loving Hands for the Needy, Inc.: We have a vision for their future.
It seems like a lot of children are running across the streets without going to school because most of their parents are not able to help them.
Loving Hands for the Needy, Inc. will build a school and orphanage to get them out of the situation they are in now.
The NeedsLoving Hands for the Needy, Inc., is
currently seeking funds to rebuild their orphanage in Haiti, school and offices
and a conference room that will serve as our weekly and monthly meeting places.
Volunteers and money are needed to help us construct these buildings and to work on other projects.
We maintain and expect the highest standards of excellent in our provision of childcare, shelter
and all other aspects of our organization
Before September 2008
Loving Hands for the Needy

Provided an education to almost 1500 children at their school.
•Provided 400 adults with dry food.
•Operated a mobile clinic.
•Distributed food to the needy as it was available to them.
Haiti is a very poor country and the work that Loving Hands for the Needy does is sorely needed as long term improvement is greatly hampered by the fact every year Haiti is swept by numerous hurricanes and other suchnatural disasters.

All this woman has left after the Hurricane
Standing water was
everywhere.
For days on end.
Very few structures were spared by the storm
Boats were often the only way to move around the city in the
days following the hurricane.
And there was the dead. Over five
hundred were killed as the bodies
continued to be found.
Sadly many of
those killed were
children
The Ministry Was Affected as Well.
Buildings were left damaged and abandoned.
Abandoned Building Abandoned Missionary Home
Other Buildings Were Damaged, But Still Able to be Used.
Classrooms and living quarters
John Miller House
The aftermath of the storm brings more children without
families who find a new home at Loving Hands’ orphanage
until other arrangements can be
made for them.
But The Ministry Is on the Path to Recovery
Recently Built New Food Distribution Center, Kitchen and Food Warehouse Building.
Dining and Food Preparation in the New Building
And the Religious Work has Gone on as Well.
