Building Projects

Building Solutions for Haiti’s Kids Part 2: Overview. Extreme Makeover for Haitian Orphanages: First we identify a distressed orphanage. Next we come up with a renovation plan. When we arrive in Haiti we move quickly.  We hire local labor and purchase materials from local hardware suppliers to support the local community.  We establish independent power supply, clean water supply, sanitation and fresh paint.  We optimize use of open and shared space by creating storage solutions and upgrading bedrooms and living areas.  We replace toilets and sinks.  We install landscaping and flood management solutions, sewage tank remediation and create play structures.  We do kitchen upgrades and install mosquito screens on the windows and ramps for wheelchair access.  We also install satellite dishes and provide donated laptops for internet access.  Our renovation goal is to improve the quality of life for the children and their care givers in all these areas.   The cost for a renovation is a fraction of the cost of building in the United States and the payoff is immeasurable.
