The first step to organizing your trip with MOH is to email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with your request.
You absolutely can! All you need is the ability to recruit and lead those with a like-mindedness to serve the people of Haiti. Mission of Hope will handle your week’s itinerary and all your in-country transportation.
Your week can be comprised of a construction, evangelism, or medical focus. Some teams will have a combination of all three.
Minimum age for a minor traveling with his/her guardian is six years old. If any minors are going on a trip, a member of at least 25 years must be accompanying to chaperone, with signed permission to take responsibility of the minors while traveling.
Your group should be at least five people strong. This helps create a more impactful experience. An average team is comprised of 10-15 people.
The trip cost is $550 per person. This covers all transportation, lodging and three daily meals you will receive. You are responsible for your own airfare; however, Mission of Hope provides transportation to and from the airport in Haiti.
After arriving at the Port au Prince airport, a Mission of Hope driver will meet you and drive you to the Mission of Hope campus, located 20 miles north. This can be a thirty-minute to one-hour drive, depending on traffic.
All North Americans traveling to Haiti must have a passport. You will not be allowed into Haiti without one. Check with your post office for a passport application, go to the U.S. Department of State web page: http://travel.state.gov/passport or the Passport Canada web page: http://www.passportcanada.gc.ca. If you are applying for a new passport, please allow 4 to 8 weeks for this process. All travelers should bring a photocopy of the first two pages of their passport in their carry-on luggage.
Your team will be staying on the Mission of Hope campus. We will soon have our new guest house finished and ready to hold groups. The rooms will be dorm-style bunk beds, with each room having its own bathroom.
Group trips are usually one week long. Your trip must start and end on either a Saturday or a Wednesday.
Mission of Hope could not guarantee your safety in any country, state, or province that you happen to visit. However, with Haiti being a third-world country we understand travels can sometimes pose a higher risk. With this said, groups’ safety is our upmost concern. Mission of Hope is fortunate in that our Executive Director, St Marc Jean Lubin, worked for the US Embassy in Haiti for more than 3 decades. He is informed and is very knowledgeable of the true situation on the ground in Haiti. If there is ever an instance when he thinks we need to postpone trips or get teams out of the country, he will not hesitate to make that decision. Furthermore, Mission of Hope is located in the foothills out in the country and not in a highly populated urban area, with a gated campus.
Yes, your group could spend part of your itinerary with other groups visiting Mission of Hope. This can be a rewarding experience to spend time with fellow Christians on the field.
All groups are encouraged to have the following vaccinations prior to traveling to Haiti:
A suggested packing list will be sent out to your group one-month from departure. We will provide fresh bedding and pillows for you.
The amount of money you take will depend on your desire to buy souvenirs. We recommend bringing $50 - $100 in small bills for souvenirs and emergency situations.
