Phaeton is a small community on the Northeast coast of Haiti, just a couple of kilometers north of the village of Paulette. There was a sisal factory in Phaeton which employed many people but it closed many years ago taking away the main employment opportunity in this area.
Most of those who are fortunate enough to have work in Phaeton earn their living by fishing or selling fish.
The church has a school as one of their ministries. This school has approximately 100 students in class levels 1 through 6. The school has 6 teachers for the children and they also feed the children when they have food donated by the World Food Program.
