One Hundred For Haiti

More good news to add light to the world.

Thank you to the monthly donors of One Hundred For Haiti. This past December we posted about our friends at Chicago Vegan Foods for helping to put a roof on a house. There was money leftover from their donation and we used it towards this entirely new house which was built recently for Madame Evena who lives in a village near Haut Pont, Haiti.

The remainder of the money for this project came from our monthly donors who help keep the entire organization moving along. They are often anonymous, but essential. Because of them we were able to make this house and roof a reality.

Walls are being finished now as you can see in the photo but the whole house is new and the roof is solid for the family who lives here.

So thank you Chicago Vegan Foods and all the people who chip in each month to support projects like this!

A few months back, our friends at Chicago Vegan Foods wrote us and asked if they could fund repairs to a house in Haiti. Their donation allowed us to build this brand new roof on the house of Tijo, who lives in the village of Bois de Lance.

Note the curled up edge to the roofing above the door which will work to protect the entry from the rain.

We've loved Dandies Marshmallows from Chicago Vegan Foods for over a decade and can't recommend them highly enough. If you love them, or if you haven't (yet) tried them, now you know when you buy them that your money is going to a company who cares about others.

There are baseline goals we have with our partners in Haiti for the community in Ranquitte: housing, food, water. That's as basic as it gets. And this is why we are working to build houses and roofs, help farmers plant crops, and fixing / building cisterns which will hold clean water.

From that baseline community can be stronger. And eventually, if all goes well, One Hundred For Haiti will no longer be needed. That's the long term plan. ❤

For more information on how you can help build a roof or house or take part in any of the projects above, or if you know of a socially conscious company who would partner with us, be in touch anytime!

One Hundred For Haiti is excited to announce the addition of Seattle Real Estate Agent Kevin Zelko Seattle Realtor to our growing team of devoted real estate professionals willing to help build houses in Haiti.

For every house that Kevin helps a client sell or buy, he will fund the building of one house in the Ranquitte region of Haiti through our local partners there. You can find out more about the houses we build and why here:

This is an incredible way to expand the number of houses we can build in Haiti, provide baseline sustenance for more people, and from there continue strengthening community.

Kevin said, “The work that One Hundred For Haiti achieves in helping my fellow humans in very tough times is vital. They do this with such a low overhead compared to other non-profits because it’s a smart & small organization of dedicated individuals.”

Shoutout to the monthly donors, the people who send $5 and $10 and $25 a month to One Hundred For Haiti.

This week One Hundred For Haiti provided funding for seven kids to go to school for the year, all because of monthly donors. And all students who wouldn’t have been able to go to school otherwise. More on that soon.

As for this great new roof….we often post about the bigger dollar donors who fund an entire house or roof build with one donation. But the people who send monthly donations are so appreciated because those donations really add up.

This new roof is proof of that. It’s the house of Madame Blanc in Gard Hiram, safe from rain for the next decade thanks to monthly donors.

One donor at $25 a month covers the cost of a roof or house build in just a years’ time. It really does add up.
