Support Haitians who help their communities thrive
Stand with us in the pursuit of a brighter future for Haiti. The challenges are significant, but together, we can help Haiti thrive. Thanks to our dedicated private donors, every bit of your generosity goes directly towards ensuring kids and the elderly are fed, mothers can afford medicine, and farmers have the tools they need to sustain communities.
This year, your support has meant weekly meals for over 160 children, crucial supplements for 100 seniors and handicapped youth, essential medical care for 1600 diabetes patients, and a commitment to sustainable food sources through aquaculture.
Be a part of the Here 4 Haiti movement by giving today.
The story continues because of you.
We’re just getting started….
THE WORK // PROJECTS
Sante 2000 (Health 2000) Clinics
Sante 2000 is a clinic run by Dr. Manno and specializes in diabetic care. Diabetes in Haiti is a growing epidemic and can often mean death as finding the proper care and Insulin is extremely difficult. Sante 2000 has grown from 60 patients to over 1600 in the last few years. With the financial help of the ECCC, Dr. Manno and his staff care for people within a 1-2 hour drive of Haute Limbe.
Financial commitment: $29,400 US ($39,690 CAD)
Petite Anse Feeding Project
Petite Anse is an area in Cap Haitian known as one of the most impoverished neighbourhoods. It is difficult to describe other than to say it’s difficult to imagine living there. The ECCC in partnership with College Park Covenant Church and a team in Haiti provide a rice and beans meal twice a week for approximately 160 children.
Financial commitment: $17,100 US ($23,085 CAD)
Aquaculture Project
Aquaculture is a way of raising fish in enclosures or ponds to be consumed or sold as food. In 2016, the journey started to explore aquaculture in Northern Haiti. We have hired enthusiastic young leaders, Valery and Half-Charger as the aquaculture experts to encourage, train and support the start-up of local farmers and groups to start their own farms. The goal is to teach and train farmers to produce fish as a sustainable source of food and income. And it’s working! Currently, we have several partners with 14 ponds.
Financial commitment: $2,940 US ($3979 CAD)
The Sarepta Project
The Sarepta Program is a food program for elderly people in Haute Limbe. Each month, food is given to approximately 95 elderly people. The food supplements what they need through out the month. Each Sunday morning, a breakfast is provided to help boost nutrition. Without this care, it is difficult to see how some of these individuals would survive.
Financial commitment: $8,200 US ($10,935 CAD)
Agriculture Garden Project
The Garden Program is an educational training and onsite consultation program with a young woman who is the daughter to one of the Sarepta group members. She has a degree in agriculture and is working to help train local farmers and community members in agricultural practices that will provide fresh produce for their families and the neighbourhood.
Financial commitment: $7,700 US (fully funded)
The work you support
We understand the importance of valuing people over performance. Haitians are very good at this. In Haiti, the neighbourhood is the community.
The projects - Dr. Manno's Clinic Sante 2000, Sarepta Elderly Program, Petite Anse Feeding Project and Aquaculture all have something in common. The leaders saw a need and had a desire to serve their communities and country. AND they lead the way. The leaders like Madame Mark, Dr. Manno, Ysmenette and Half-Charger and Valerie help to envision a future for their community and we are invited to come alongside to partner.
The approach isn't about quick fixes or placing the Canadian culture on Haitian culture. It's about relationships, care and encouragement.
Yes, it takes a bit longer, BUT the results are profound. The needs of the community are met and sustained and the impact goes beyond basic needs. Monthly the Canadian Team meets and are in constant contact with the leaders.
