2021 Earthquake Relief
Magnitude 7.2 earthquake hits Haiti, with at least 136,800 buildings damaged or destroyed and more than half a million children affected
On the morning of August 14th, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck near the on-going Hope Gate efforts in Fronfrede, Haiti. Many have lost their “homes” (as humble as they were) and need something to cover them when they sleep.
Education
Community schools in rural Haiti are in desperate condition.
The community in Fonfrede has accepted the challenge of providing an answer for the local children. The administration asked HopeGate if they would be willing to support this ongoing endeavor. We said “yes! But it’s really up to good people like you to help make this happen.
Irrigation System
Fondfrede has managed to construct a small well and storage system for drinking water. The next step is to supply water to their crops in the 34 acre community farm. The Major parts that are the most needed for this project are:
- A submersible deep well pump ($900)
- A water transportation pump ($900)
- A 5000KW generator ($1,600)
- PVC piping ($1,500/km, need 2-4 km)
- The Primary Well ($10,000)
