Help Marcel build an orphanage in Haiti

A wholesome story. Please don’t look away.

Marcel has a dream: to offer a loving house to kids who have no one else. As you know, Haiti gets struck by catastrophes way too frequently and has too many kids with no families or places to go. Marcel and his team of volunteers work every day to house them in a safe place where they can grow up as they deserve it.

This is a story about a dreamer
By building an orphanage in Haiti, Marcel wants kids to be able to grow in a safe environment, that protects them from the all-too-frequent catastrophes that hit the country. He’s a nice Haitian guy that, somehow, keeps smiling despite everything he’s seen. You´d love to meet him, he is a strong noble soul that works his best despite the utter lack of resources.

This is a story in motion and you can jump in
As of August 2021, Marcel got a piece of land donated in a safer city rather than the crime capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. He also managed to buy and place 8 containers that will provide a sturdy building structure resistant to earthquakes. The construction of the new orphanage is already in place and moving forward as best as possible, yet materials and payment to construction workers are expensive and the building process in Haiti is really challenging. Your donation will be used to pay for construction materials which will help the kids have a new home as soon as possible.

This is a story about improving an aiming high
Marcel is not new to this dream, he and his team of 8 volunteers are already running the orphanage where kids currently live. They are 34 kids who regularly attend school, they are healthy, and, as much as possible, are happy. Building a new place will allow them, first of all, to be free of the terror of earthquakes but also save on the rent they pay for the place they live in now. What is more, they´ll be living in a much more beautiful place than the teared-down city of Port-au-Prince.

This is a story about kids having a positive opportunity in life
Kids at the orphanage neither have a family nor anyone else to rely on. And if not for Marcel and his team, they would be on their own in the poorest country in the northern hemisphere. Yet, they are receiving education and medical care, they are well-nourished and count on a loving team of volunteers taking care of them.

In the pictures below, you can see the project for the orphanage. The construction stopped 5 years ago for lack of funds. However, now they have managed to obtain 8 containers, the land with a fence, and have started with a foundation of the project to move the children into their own property in Jacmel.
