As the year comes to a close, we reflect on what we’ve accomplished: a trip to Haiti led to us taking on a water project which now is a much-expanded Rural Water Project from our friends at Peacework Medical, who had decided to stop working in Haiti. And this was the year that we funded […]

In Haiti, lack of education is a huge issue. Social norms lead people to violent behavior – as they do worldwide – but here it often is found that lack of education prevents those who have been the victims of physical violence from speaking out for themselves. In the last year and a half the […]
We have arrived at the beginning. When One Hundred For Haiti started in the spring of 2010, we had the goal of affecting the lives of as many people as we could, through what at first were relief efforts, and then development projects, and then much later, major initiatives. It took five and a half […]
I am just back from Haiti, where we set up plans for building, maintaining, and repairing forty rural water tanks to prevent deaths from cholera-infected water. The idea, and it is working effectively, is to capture natural spring water (which potentially has cholera in it after any disruption to the water table by hurricanes or […]
One Hundred For Haiti: 2014/2015 What we’ve done and what we will do, thanks to your support!

The change is significant: rather than only give supplies (which is how we started), […]

Morgan works for Little Footprints / Big Steps and has been directly supporting homeless youth in the city of Les Cayes in the south of Haiti for years now. […]
Phase one of our Rural Water Project was funded today for the rural area of Ranquitte. We – meaning YOU – paid for Haitian workers in extremely rural areas to build ten water treatment tanks. These tanks will protect the water supply, currently coming directly from the ground from natural springs, from infecting people with […]

Our Rural Water Project campaign to save 15,000 lives from cholera is underway and already making an impact. This photo, just in from the tiny rural village of Haute Pont shows the first completed water tank. This tank catches water from a local natural spring, and once filled to the top is treated to kill […]
