Sanitation Project

We have been serving the community in the Tampa Bay area and Haiti since 2010. Like so many others, we were deeply moved by the suffering of the Haitian people shortly after the 2010 earthquake. We’ve been very effective with the little bit of resources that we have and with partners who have come alongside us. We’ve been able to teach many individuals how to use technology, provide scholarships, provide toys to children, deliver nutritious meals to several families and had a very successful community health fair in Jacmel, Haiti. We continue to forge partnerships with other organizations and individuals interested in making a change in the world. Our main objective has been to develop projects that can make a difference in people’s lives.

Water and Sanitation is a global issue and Haiti has not been spared of this distressing problem. VDR has an ambitious goal of ensuring that every Haitian gains access to clean water and Sanitation by 2050—Sani Pou Nou Tout. The first stage of our project entails educating the population about the health benefits, empowering the communities and building water/sanitation facilities throughout the country focusing primarily on the rural areas. The second phase of our project is to help families with microfinance loans to assist in constructing sanitation systems in their homes. Lastly, we would like to tackle to issues of waste and re-use.

We are currently seeking financial and technical assistance. We would like to break ground with our first sanitation facility in Jacmel, Haiti. We have already acquired the land. Next, we would like to set a wall border on the property and install gates. Once we complete the walls and gates, our next goal is to drill a well for the community to have access to clean water then construct the sanitation system which can sustain at least six (6) stalls/units.
It is my hope that you will be able to partner with us on this project and I look forward to your support.

Sincerely,
Magdala Dulcio
