Haiti 2009

In 2009, Global Human Aide, in collaboration with the NGO SFWA supported a community of approximately 500 people, after having established a contact with a minister who is in charge of a mission in Port-au-Prince. A school for adults has been created in the fields of IT (use of a computer) and sewing. Works have been undertaken on the ground floor of the mission’s church to be able to look after the students correctly:

Furthermore, a ground has been purchased in Mirebalais (60 km from Port-au-Prince) in order for the community to be able to grow vegetables and cereals that many people can’t buy anymore.

A vocal group from the community has received help to produce a CD, the sale of which is going half to the musicians and half to the community to cover running costs (e.g. transportation to and from Mirebalais…)
