Haiti Project 2019

Matiak Foundation will be kicking off fundraising efforts for Haiti this month! When our team was in Haiti last November we asked the New Missions team what we as an organization could do that would make a longer, lasting impact on the students that they serve. They immediately answered us with “We need to build each school a kitchen!”.  In lieu of the shoebox drive this year Matiak Foundation has decided to help raise funds for New School Kitchens! Three different schools have been identified and each new kitchen costs $22,000. New Missions currently has 30 schools in Haiti with an attendance of 9,068 students and they serve 2 million meals each year during the school day. The current kitchen conditions are primitive at best, some are just an open camp fire, while some are under a make shift covering. 
We are asking our community to help us raise funds for at least one of these schools that they’ve identified at a cost of $22,000.
 
There are also items that can be sponsored:                 
 
Roof: $8,000
Paint: $2,000
Propane Stove: $300
Doors: $280
Metal bars for windows: $220
 
All materials are purchased in Haiti to help stimulate their economy and a majority of the work is done by Haitians which puts people to work.
