This challenge was created to invite you and your community circle to join forces and help Haiti to Replenish ~ Repair ~ Restore
When many come together in support of one there is no burden felt, but a feeling of empowerment, knowing you have been a part of something greater than yourself to improve the life of another.
Step into the ring of support for Haiti by making a contribution to Her Many Voices Foundation.
(100% of your monies will be working on the ground)
Challenge 7 others in your circle to match your donation and watch what you have ignited unfold.
Haiti and Hurrican Matthew
Before Hurricane Matthew reached the United States, it caused widespread devastation in Haiti, killing over 1,000 people.
CBC News video on Haiti
The region of Trou ChouChou, where HMVF has been working since 2010, was not spared. Matthew cut right through it, killing all of their livestock and completely destroying all makeshift homes, 67 solid homes and 6 other structures. The primary school we founded had its roof ripped off and all of the toilets crushed. All of their water systems and tanks, crops and trees were completely devasted, leaving the village without clean water, food or shelter and the collapse of the Petite Goave bridge cut off the main road linking Port-au-Prince to Trou ChouChou.
HMVF has strong ties to this community. The primary school that we started with Help Hayti , St Alfonse de Cadet, has 185 students enrolled.
We also assisted the development of six women's organizations and businesses, which partner with us.
Since 2010 we've provided business training on tourism, animal husbandry, agriculture and sustainability, effecting the lives of 4,600 people. All programs were designed to be self-sustaining, and until Matthew they were on track and succeeding.
100 miles east of Jeremie, Haiti, where all the media attention has been focused, Trou ChouChou is a remote village that was forgotten after the 2010 earthquake and is being neglected now. It is vital for us to get clean water and food to this community immediately, as reports of dysentery are pouring though. With the threat of cholera looming, we must be ahead of the game.
HMVF is partnered with Help Hayti and community leaders of Trou ChouChou. We also have a team of volunteers supporting our efforts.
Our immediate goals for this request are to:
1. utilize our on-ground organizational and community partners to survey the immediate needs in order to provide a prioritized response to the urgency.
2. provide $25,000 toward urgent relief of food, clean water and shelter.
3. during the first phase of our response we will complete a needs assessment of the needs for the restoration of all devastated projects.
4. repair and restore the infrastructure, including: water systems, gardens, crops, soil, buildings and livestock.
5. continue our on-ground follow-up and support of the overall process. Our US team will be in Haiti in December.
Where does the money go?
* 3 - 1,300 gallon catchment tanks = $3,000
* 15,000 lbs Rice = $15,000
* 3,000 lbs Beans = $5,000
* 200 gals Cooking Oil = $2,000
This is the first of a multi-phase “Replenish, Repair & Restore” project. This urgent needs campaign will only run until Dec 24th, 2016. If you'd like more information about Her Many Voices Foundation and it's partners, this project, or have any questions about volunteering or joining us on a service trip, contact us at [email redacted].
Thank you for your time, attention and contribution to this urgent need. It reminds us of an African Proverb ~
