Rebuilding Haiti
Aid seems to be pouring into Haiti faster than anyone expected. What will be done with the millions of dollars flowing into the country seems to be a question without solid answers at this point. We hope that it will be used to help the Haitian population in every possible way, but we know the history of government corruption there and feel that we must protect ourselves and our donors from it.
Due to this, we have started our own fund called Rebuilding Haiti. We will not push the merits of this fund over any others; we will simply say that every penny we receive will go directly to rebuilding this country that we love.
A plan has been put into place for the money raised. We will make needed repairs to the school and cisterns in Guibert and build at least 30 homes in the mountains of Kenskoff for families that have lost everything. These homes will be 30' x 10', will have two rooms, a tin roof, and a water collection system for rain water run-off. They will be built in a way that will make it possible for the family to add on when finances allow. Each home will cost approximately $5,000.00 and will be built by the families who need them. IAM will begin sending building materials to Haiti as soon as ports open and finances allow. We will also be taking building teams into Haiti throughout the year to help with the building process. When this goal has been met, we will work with other ministry organizations to help with their rebuilding needs.
Donations to this effort can be made online or by check to IAM. Please designate your donation to "Rebuilding Haiti."
Building Trip Scheduled IAM is sending a building team to Haiti October 10-16. Our first priority is to build thirty homes for Spirit of Truth families in Kenskoff whose homes have been destroyed by the earthquake. Learn more about this trip on our Mission Trips page.
