Projects |
Each year, Church
of the Nativity has taken on additional projects to ease the
suffering in Haiti.
-
STARFISH I, in 1998, built 27 houses in Canapé-Verte
-
STARFISH II, in 1999, equipped a desperately needed mobile
medical clinic
-
STARFISH III, in 2000, rebuilt The Little Children of Jesus
Home in Lizon for precious special-needs children whose previous
home was destroyed by fire
-
STARFISH IV, in 2001, began the development of "Nativity
Village" with 27 houses and a community sanitation facility
in Merger.
-
STARFISH V, in 2002, continued the development of Nativity
Village with another 120 houses. The dangerous roof of the
small church serving this community was also replaced.
-
STARFISH VI, in 2003, brought the total number of houses built
in Nativity Village to 296 single units. Another sanitation
block was completed.
-
STARFISH VII, in 2004, continued work toward the goal of providing
500 families in Nativity Village with safe shelter. By the
end of the year, only 11 double units remained to be built.
-
STARFISH VIII, in 2005, saw the completion of the 500 houses
and the beginning of Phase II – construction of a school,
a food program, job training, and several entrepreneurial and
small business projects. Education and health care will be
improved and a self-sustaining revenue stream will be developed
for the residents of Nativity Village.
-
STARFISH IX, in 2006, began development of a new Nativity Village
community on the north coast of Haiti. This second Nativity
Village includes construction of houses, development of a fishing
village on the coast and an inland tilapia farm.
-
STARFISH X, in 2007, opened a third Nativity Village project
at La Linea in the mountain frontier on the Haitian border
with the Dominican Republic. Housing, water wells and sanitation
will be provided, with a fruit tree orchard planned for the
future.
