Robin Hood Ministries support two orphanages, St Joseph's and Notre Maison in Port au Price, which have been severley affected by the recent earthquake and it's consequences.
As we move on in our lives, those living in Haiti are still trying to put their lives back together after the Earthquake which hit on 12th January 2010. Although the media have left, the poverty and devastation still remains.
However, through the generous donations from our supporters and responses to our appeal raising over £13,000 we have been able to help put the lives back together of Gertrude and the children of St Josephs Creche and Notre Maison Orphanages.
This is how you have helped.
New windows throughout the two orphanages £2,956
Tiling to the new bathrooms £986
Security railings around the perimeter of the buildings £3,230
New doors throughout the orphanage £1040
In addition, new land has been purchased for £5,467 to enable Gertrude to help the children live better lives allowing those who are disabled to move into purpose built dormitories, giving them the freedom and access to ground floor level facilities. This area will also help bring in funds for the orphanages as they plan to grow vegetables and fruit.
