About our Charity

Founded: 1989
We have active projects i.e. training technicians in Clean Water and Sanitation Techniques (CAWSt Certification) and building Biosand filters in rural Haiti (Anse-a-Veau)and community water sanitation education; a Villager Solar Oven Microbakery Project and small solar box cookers made and used by villagers; computer literacy for school children. Presently, we have several computers in rural Anse-a-veau powered by a generator. Students have computer classes on Fridays during the school year. We have a satellite dish on our headquarters that we plan to move to Anse-a-veau to get internet access for the community, especially for the teachers

We have a sewing school taught by a Haitian certified haute couture with 12 young women.We are in need of additional foot-operated sewing machines. We have one new machine that I purchased in 2006,, and an old one that's about 25 yrs old. When the students finsih this course, they will be able to be self-employed by providing sewing services for their respective communities and develop their own cliente.

We have an agricultural project of 67 small farms in need of irrigation systems. We are trying to get the KickStart Pump models. We also have an animal husbandry project with 71 animals to date. The largest one is 70 acres and is manned by a woman. The second largest is 60 acres and is managed by a woman also.
The food crops provide food for the families with some sold at market. A portion of the income is given to help pay the school teachers.

WE have built a depot to furnish staples for the community, and for road vendors from the higher hilsome arel villages. We also have a heavy-duty bus/truck that is needed to carry the heavy water filters to villages and cities as well as carry the cement and to haul sand from the river bed for filter construction.
