BUILDING A NEW HAITI PLANS UNFOLD

When you begin to think of constructing 55 buildings, the responsibility can be overwhelming. Then, when the reality of bringing positive change brings the picture into focus, the job is one that is truly an honor.

Building design meetings are taking place to ensure we review all options available for the best construction. Three items that are mutually agreed upon are: no concrete roofs, tin roofs only, and to use more wood for all construction. We are focused on designing a model that can be duplicated in multiple locations.

What is needed? Typically at each elementary school we have four classrooms and a church structure. We are now making positive changes by building smaller buildings which can flex better in case of any future earthquakes. We will separate the classrooms by constructing two-room buildings;

the church will be separate. The original clinic was located at BordMer, but we will now relocate the clinic to our Sigueneau property on the main highway.  This will provide greater access for villages all across the Leogane Plain. In addition, we are constructing a miniclinic at each of our 22 elementary schools and will have a nurse on staff at each school location.

The timeline for all of this construction will take years. However, it is our goal to have the school buildings finished within 12 months so the school children do not have to meet in temporary facilities. New Missions has always built with excellent quality. We will build better, stronger, and with a greater dedication to those we serve. Thank you for partnering with us to build a new Haiti.
