The Least of These Ministries is a non-denominational Christian organization that is dedicated to assisting the Haitian harvesters who live in work camps in the Dominican Republic. These work camps are known as bateys and offer little more than basic protection from the elements. The people in the bateys have very little work and virtually no means to raise money for food and other basic necessities. Batey children have little or no clothing, little or no food and the infant death rate runs about 30%.
