There is great need for a Community / Rescue Centre in the slums of LaGonave. We are getting ready to strategically fundraise for this amazing project that has been in our hearts, dreams and planning for six years. Architects have finished the drawings which have needed much thought and revision so that this facility embraces the growing and developing community. The property is situated in the slums of one of the poorest places in the world. Our dream is that it’s multi-purpose design will adapt to the many needs and requirements over the years to come and help facilitate change, development and growth on the island of LaGonave. A versatile building to be used for feeding programs, vocational training, philanthropic teams, micro enterprise, a base for ‘u2u’ and available for emergency and rescue needs. Having taken a break from the completion of the Wesleyan Guest house and the 45 bed Hospital build and the many exhausting fundraisers, we are now ready to put all our energies into this epic project. This will not happen without partners like you. Please consider this. Contact us to invite us to share with your sphere of influence about this or any of our projects on LaGonave, Haiti.
The homes on the Saline (slum) are held together with rags and plastic bags .. storms ravage this area regularly and homes are frequently destroyed and rebuilt. The families in this poor and devastated area are a testimony to determination and tireless hope .. they get up and push through day after day.
u2u owns a great property on the edge of the slum – perfect positioning for the Community. It needs rebuilding as the foundations are weak and there has been earthquake damage. The vision is for a multi-purpose building that will provide many options for different needs and seasons and a base for u2u.
The poorest children cannot afford schooling – a safe place for preschool children will protect them.
We have built a secure wall and gates that enclose the property and provide security.
The highlighted area is the outline of the property for the proposed Community /Rescue Centre situated perfectly right on the edge of the slum which stretches to it’s left hand side all the way to the wharf. This area is flooded regularly. The poorest live here for free as their homes are destroyed frequently. The new Hospital conveniently close and the airstrip to the right marked MAF .. a perfect location to bring sustainable change.
