Strategic Global Initiatives (SGI) - 2010 Haiti Earthquake (Rebuilding Val's Childrens Home Orphanage in Leogane)

SGI is positioned strategically to help Haiti. On the ground we directly serve Haitians who are on the front lines and need immediate assistance for food, water, medical supplies and professional help. Your Haiti relief donations are used 100% for this purpose with no administrative fees deducted and all donations to SGI are tax deductible.

Thank you for helping Haiti. Though our last few days have been sleepless, we are assured that we are making a difference on the frontlines of the most devastated part of the globe.

Val's Children’s Home Care - Rebuild plan:

This small orphanage is near Gressier near the epicenter of the quake. All buildings were lost, but every child is safe. They are currently sleeping in a converted chicken coop. Funds are needed to rebuild, but most immediately for food.

Rebuilding Val's Children's School

Many are asking how they can help rebuild the orphanage founded by Pastor Val. Recently we received a report from friends in Haiti that we will be working closely with in this project. Thank you for considering what part you will play in this effort.

PART 1 - keep the children safe and well nourished. We need to raise funds to insure a daily supply of basic needs are met. (approx $500.00 per month to $1000 a month)

PART 2 - hire locals to chip away at the rubble, saving as much building material as possible. Approximately 12 Haitians to work each day to clear the site may be the way to go. They do not have any heavy equipment so they must chip away.....day by day....with small hammers and shovels. I do not know how long this will take since the buildings are very large. Once labor has begun but could be 3 to 4 months...perhaps faster if funds are available for special equipment. Approx cost for labor - $10,000 to $15,000

PART 3 - Rebuild Church. The church is the center of the community. Once the church is done, children can be moved from the chicken house to the church temporarily until their living quarters are complete. Skilled builders have been identified, looking for work and are ready to go. Approx cost - $75,000 to $90,000

PART 4 - Rebuild the living quarters (to include toilets). Would like to have a "Boys Dorm" and "Girls Dorm". Enough space for current children and more space for additional children who may be orphans as a result of the earthquake. Separate rooms for Irma (Pastor Val's sister) and older boys and girls. Also, 2 guest rooms (men and women) for American visitors associated with Val's who will contribute their time and labor to future projects. Approx cost - $100,000

PART 5 - Kitchen/Food Pantry. Cooking facility with propane stove(s). Rat proof & Thief proof storage for all food goods. This kitchen will be closely assigned to classroom area open room for feeding meals (see PART 6). Approx cost - $30,000

PART 6 - Classrooms for school, complete with desks, chalkboards, school supplies, etc.. Approximately 6 rooms with an open room for feeding meals to the kids. Would like the kids to sit together at one or two very large tables to share their meals together (family style). Approx cost - $75,000
Total Estimated Cost: $325,000
