Mission Manna is a faith-based organization located in Western North Carolina that provides medical care for malnourished children and continuing health care education for adults in and around the Haitian town of Montrouis.
Mission Manna’s current efforts are focused in two primary areas. First and foremost is curbing malnutrition with our akamil distribution program. Akamil is a highly nutritious mix consisting of two parts cereal (rice, corn, millet, wheat) and one part beans. It is an essential element in preventing malnutrition in Haiti. Mission Manna employs health agents to distribute akamil in Montrouis and the surrounding areas. We are currently tracking the positive results of dozens of malnourished children in our zone.
Mission Manna also provides leadership for medical mission teams to travel to Haiti to conduct clinics for thousands of Haitian children each year. These teams consist of local doctors, nurses, physician’s assistants and lay people who work together toward the common goal of eliminating malnutrition and its devastating effect on Haitian children.
Haiti is a picture in contrast. The sheer scope of malnutrition and poverty in Haiti is hard for western minds to grasp. Yet the hope that can be seen in Haitian’s eyes is truly inspiring. Once people get involved with Mission Manna and assisting Haiti, they seldom walk away.
