The Chanje Movement has purchased a two acre field in Croix des Bouquets where we will create a “Dream Center” for the local community in a way that can be replicated throughout the region.

A donation of $10,000 is the realistic starting point for providing clean water – we previously hand dug wells, but we have found that it is best to have a large enough budget that will allow us to partner with a nonprofit using machinery to dig deep enough to get fresh water, with additional options to install a pump system and connect the water supply to filtration to create clean drinking water.

A donation of $10,000 will provide permanent housing for a basic 2 room structure with porch (provided land is already available) along with a care package for the family’s basic needs.  (Final details to be spelled out as project development begins.)

Donations to our micro-credit efforts are kept in a designated fund for accelerating economic sustainability.  Typical loans range from $500 – $5,000 and are paid back in within 10 months to 2 years depending on the business type and current status (i.e. start-up, established business, increasing inventory, hiring employees, etc.)

Choose to donate one or more backpacks to a child. Backpacks will be distributed in Croix des Bouquets, Tabarre and Delmas and at the Chanje Lakay children’s shelter.

Discussions on a formal relationship and funding for CHOAIDS (Caring for Haitian Orphans with AIDS) are ongoing as we develop our outreach to Children in Crisis.
