In the wake of natural disasters and the devastating 2010 earthquake, Haiti faced immense challenges. Infrastructure was destroyed, homes were reduced to rubble, and communities were left shattered. However, through our mission trips, we have been able to contribute to the rebuilding and restoration of Haiti, one project at a time.
We have witnessed the transformative power of construction projects. We have seen communities rebuilt, lives transformed, and hope restored. But our work is far from over. Haiti still faces numerous challenges, and your support is vital in continuing our mission.
We invite you to join us on future mission trips, where you can be a part of these construction projects and make a tangible difference in the lives of the Haitian people. Together, we can build a brighter future for Haiti, one project at a time.
Medical Clinics
Medical clinics have been a cornerstone of our construction projects. By building and improving medical facilities, we have been able to provide essential healthcare services to communities that have limited access to medical care. These clinics serve as beacons of hope, offering medical assistance, treatments, and preventive care to those in need. Through our efforts, lives are being saved, diseases are being treated, and the overall health and well-being of the Haitian people are being improved.
Family Homes
Another vital aspect of our construction projects is the building of homes. Many families in Haiti were left homeless and displaced after the earthquake. Through our mission trips, we have been able to construct safe and secure homes, providing shelter and stability to those who have endured unimaginable hardships. These homes not only offer physical protection but also restore a sense of dignity and hope to the families who now have a place to call their own.
Our housing initiatives are designed to be inclusive and sustainable. We work closely with local communities, involving them in the planning and construction process. This approach ensures that the homes we build are culturally appropriate, environmentally friendly, and meet the specific needs of the families they will serve. By involving the community, we foster a sense of ownership and pride, creating a lasting impact that extends beyond the physical structure of the home.
Education Centers
Education is a powerful tool for transformation, and our construction projects have focused on building schools and improving educational infrastructure. By providing safe and well-equipped learning environments, we are empowering Haitian children with the opportunity to receive a quality education. Through education, we are breaking the cycle of poverty, opening doors of opportunity, and nurturing the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of Haiti.
Infrastructure Repair
In addition to medical clinics, homes, and schools, our construction projects also include improvements to existing infrastructure. By repairing and upgrading roads, bridges, and community centers, we are enhancing the overall quality of life for the Haitian people. These improvements not only facilitate access to essential services but also foster a sense of community and connectivity.
Church Planting
Churches hold a special place in the hearts of communities, providing spiritual guidance, support, and a sense of unity. Through our building projects, we have constructed churches, creating spaces for worship, fellowship, and community engagement. These churches become pillars of strength, offering solace and hope to individuals and families in times of joy and hardship.
Faith is an essential part of Haitian culture, it’s also an important protective factor for youth, and for impoverished individuals. Many Haitians gather outside to worship, having no physical structure to hold services in. Having a physical building for worship will allow individuals to seek spiritual guidance and shelter regardless of the elements. It will also provide a place of shelter in the event of a natural disaster.
Orphanages
Orphanages provide a safe and loving environment for children who have been orphaned or abandoned. Through our building projects, we have constructed orphanages, offering a nurturing home and a brighter future for these vulnerable children. These orphanages become places of healing, where children can grow, thrive, and experience the love and care they deserve.
Community Centers - NEW - Part of Whole Family Approach!
In addition to providing homes etc, GCOM also focuses on building communities. We believe that strong communities are built on a foundation of support, collaboration, and empowerment. We create spaces where families can come together, support one another, and thrive. We encourage community engagement, offering opportunities for skills training, education, and entrepreneurship. By fostering a sense of community, we create an environment where families can grow, prosper, and contribute to the overall development of their communities.
We want to shed light on the pressing need for community centers in rural and remote parts of Haiti. These centers serve as pillars of strength, providing essential services and fostering a sense of unity and empowerment within communities. Join us as we explore the challenges faced by these communities and the transformative impact of building community centers through GCOM’s initiatives.
In rural and remote parts of Haiti, access to basic services and resources is often limited. Communities struggle with inadequate infrastructure, including roads and transportation systems, making it difficult for residents to access essential facilities such as schools, medical and dental clinics, churches, homeless shelters, and feeding centers. This lack of infrastructure not only hinders the overall development of these communities but also isolates them from vital resources and opportunities.
Recognizing the urgent need to address these challenges, GCOM has made it a priority to build community centers in rural and remote areas. These centers serve as multi-purpose facilities, providing a wide range of services and activities that are crucial for the well-being and development of the community.
One of the primary functions of these community centers is to serve as a place of worship. In areas where churches are scarce or inaccessible, the community center becomes a spiritual sanctuary, offering a space for individuals and families to come together, find solace, and strengthen their faith. By providing a place of worship, we foster a sense of unity and spiritual growth within the community.
Education is another vital aspect of community centers. In rural areas, access to quality education is often limited, with schools being far away or lacking proper facilities. By incorporating schools within community centers, we ensure that children have access to education in a safe and conducive environment. These centers become hubs of learning, empowering children with knowledge and skills that will shape their future.

Healthcare is a fundamental need that should be accessible to all. By including medical and dental clinics within community centers, we bring essential healthcare services to communities that would otherwise have limited access to medical care. These clinics become lifelines, providing diagnoses, treatments, and preventive care to individuals who would otherwise go without proper medical attention. By investing in healthcare infrastructure, we improve the overall health and well-being of the Haitian people.

Homelessness and hunger are prevalent issues in Haiti. Community centers can serve as homeless shelters and feeding centers, providing a safe haven for those without a place to call home and ensuring that no one goes hungry. These centers become beacons of hope, offering support, nourishment, and a chance for individuals to rebuild their lives.
Recreation and leisure activities are essential for the well-being and social development of individuals, especially children. By equipping community centers with recreational equipment and organizing activities, we create spaces for individuals to come together, engage in sports, arts, and other recreational activities, fostering a sense of joy, camaraderie, and personal growth.
Building community centers in rural and remote areas comes with its own set of challenges. The lack of infrastructure, including roads and transportation systems, makes it difficult to transport construction materials and reach these remote locations. However, despite these difficulties, GCOM remains committed to overcoming these obstacles and bringing essential services to those who need them most.
