Haiti Micro Grants

$5600 was recently sent to Haiti to be used as micro grants to support volunteer-led projects. Examples of the types of projects that are being carried out with these funds are:

- Voices of Croix de Bouquets Grant: A volunteer is collecting the written and oral stories generated by members of the community along with photos and illustrations. These stories will be published into a book and will be distributed back to the members of the community. GVN Foundation is covering the printing and postage costs.

- Community Benches Grant: Volunteers are building beautiful, colourful benches to distribute to local schools and orphanages in Jacmel. GVN Foundation is covering the costs of purchasing the timber and tools.

- Medical Grant: In memory of a little boy called Lele from a local orphanage in Jacmel, volunteers have been taking the children from this orphanage to receive medical check-ups. GVN Foundation is covering the costs of the medical attention and medicines.

- Construction Grant: A new structure is being built at a small orphanage in Jacmel to provide a temporary solution for their desperate need for more space. GVN Foundation covered the costs of purchasing timber, tarps and tools.

A huge thank you to all our Haiti donors!
