In Los Angeles, AMURTEL provides a healthy breakfast for 500 people every Sunday morning on Skid Row (on San Pedro between 5th and 6th Streets). Most of the recipients are homeless and include children and the elderly. It is not unusual to see people without shoes lining up for food.

Haiti
After the 2010 earthquake, AMURT Haiti expanded its programs to meet the needs of the affected population. In the Anse Rouge area, 25 miles northwest of Gonaives, AMURT has employed returnees in a comprehensive environmental restoration program, stabilizing damaged landscapes with thousands of trees. In Port-au-Prince, AMURT is training camp residents of all ages in organic kitchen gardening to help people become more self sufficient.
AMURT is training earthquake affected families to grow vegetables in old tires and plastic bags - innovative options for crowded camps.
"Please invest in AMURT, they are worth every penny. The most service for your buck is done here"

HAITI, MEXICO & NICARAGUA
In Haiti, Mexico and Nicaragua, AMURT and AMURTEL are running schools in
poor neighborhoods in Port au Prince, Monterrey and Managua. The schools
provide nutritious lunches and free education for over 950 children to
help them get a better start in life.
We take a
holistic approach to education.
Along with the standard curriculum, our
schools offer classes in art, computer skills,
dance and yoga, as well as recreational and
educational field trips.
For these children, education is their only hope of breaking the cycle of poverty.
