Jenny Jenkins | Grand Goáve, Haiti
Jenny Jenkins is a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel serving through medical and relational ministries in Grand Goâve, Haiti, where she has worked since the aftermath of the earthquake in 2010.
Grand Goâve is a rural community approximately 60 miles southwest of Haiti’s capital. Many of the 125,000 people of Grand Goâve are farmers, tradesmen, small business owners and educators. Ninety percent of the population lives in the mountains and countryside with limited access to medical care and other services including electricity. A lack of literacy, education and business skills plagues the community and there is an overwhelming need for full-time work.
Jenny partners with local churches and individuals, and her work in Grand Goâve centers on developing relationships in the community through medical, educational and outreach ministries.
One of the mandates of Jenny’s call is to go to places with limited access to care. Jenny is helping to build a free-standing health center in the mountain village of Magandou. This outpatient facility will serve the over 15,000 in this community and even more in the surrounding area.
