notes: Earthquake Relief Effort On January 12th a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti. This is the largest earthquake to ever hit the area causing substantial damage and casualties. Please contribute to the earthquake relief effort by clicking on the donate button below on the website. Grand-Sable Kindergarten and Elementary School Hope for Haiti has been working with the administration of Ecole du St. Espirit de Grande Sable since 2006. At that time the small school in Grand-Sable, Ile-a-Vache provided preschool through second grade classes for 35 children whose families did not have the means to pay the costs associated with private or public education. Because there are no other schools in Grand Sable most children have to walk up to three hours a day to schools in other villages. Many of these children have poor attendance because they cannot make it to school on days when the weather is bad and they are unable to cross one of the many waterways on the island. Ecole du St. Espirit de Grande Sable was a one room school with a dirt floor, palm frond walls and a tin roof destroyed during the 2007 hurricane season. In 2009 Hope for Haiti built a five classroom school for the community of Grand Sable. The new Ecole du St. Espirit provides free education to 150 impoverished children. Although the new school has increased enrollment by nearly fivefold, over 100 children were not able to attend the school once it reached full capacity. In order to provide an education to these children an additional five classrooms will be added to the school accommodating 300 children in total. To contribute to the school construction project, just click on any of the PayPal donate buttons to make a donation on their website. All donations are tax-deductible. Support a child's education. Many children cannot afford the costs of education in Haiti because the average family makes less than $1 a day. The government does not provide adequate funding for public schools and most families cannot afford the costs of private education. Hope for Haiti assists families who do not have the means to educate their children. We believe the best way to help fight poverty is to help the poor help themselves through educational opportunities. For as little as $50 you can support a child's education for one year. For more information, please go to the website to view their current projects. E-mail: admin @hope-for-haiti.org --------------------------------------- History Hope for Haiti was formed in October of 2005 by Brian House, a former Peace Corps volunteer who served in Haiti in 2003 and 2004. While in Haiti, Brian worked in the communities of Chambellan and Ile-a-Vache coordinating education, health, agriculture and development projects. In February 2004 amidst political revolution all Peace Corps volunteers and staff along with most other aid organizations evacuated Haiti. During this time Brian chose to remain in Haiti to provide assistance when Haiti needed it the most. Throughout this period of instability and uncertainty Brian worked with the few remaining aid workers to coordinate and deliver medical supplies and assist those who were displaced by the violence. Brian House created Hope for Haiti to continue his vision of helping Haitians achieve a brighter future. While working with the Peace Corps Brian developed an understanding of the culture, language and issues of Haiti. His personal experience working in Haiti have allowed him to develop a vast trustworthy network of volunteers to assist in Hope for Haiti's projects. Philosophy Hope for Haiti believes that the best way to provide assistance is through education and sustainable projects. Education is the necessary foundation to help an individual become self-sufficient. All of our development projects are designed with the ultimate goal of sustainability without further outside assistance. While serving in the Peace Corps Brian House noticed how many organizations focus on the immediate problems an do not address the long-term effects of their work. This creates communities that are fully dependent on outside aid. Hope for Haiti focuses on projects that strengthen the communities so that they can be self-sufficient. Grassroots Projects Hope for Haiti focuses on education and long-term sustainable projects. We provide the foundation necessary to build self-sufficient communities. In place of short-term projects that give out food and supplies that only focus on today, we provide the necessary training and skill development to help the communities provide for themselves. Our Approach Educating the youth. A majority of the country’s population are school aged children plagued with a 50% illiteracy rate. Hope for Haiti provides these children the opportunity to attend school where they will build the foundation of knowledge. Agriculture Training. Haiti has an agriculture based economy that does not produce enough food to feed it's population. Hope for Haiti provides assistance through education and projects aimed at helping farmers and fishermen increase their productivity and standards while respecting their environment. Small Business Development. Hope for Haiti provides small businesses with training and short term loans that create long term economic growth and job opportunities. Health. Hope for Haiti incorporates health education into many of our projects. We deal with issues such as water treatment, hygiene, colds, malaria, dengue fever, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. -> Earthquake Relief Effort On January 12th a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti.
