click for larger image
Haitian Relief & Missions (HRM), is a non-profit, non-denominational mission organization active in Labaleine, Haiti since 1984.
The goal for the “Housing for Haiti” program is to provide a basic house for a Haitian family who lost their home in the earthquake on January 12th, 2010 and have no long term place to live. This house will be built on site in Haiti by skilled volunteers from the states. The “house kit” includes the house itself as well as the items listed below. The goal is that a Haitian family can move in and immediately have the basics they need to live.
By American standards, this house is tiny and very basic, but by Haitian standards, this is a very livable place for long term housing. It is constructed of wood that is treated to prevent termite infestation and has a metal roof with LP Smart Side siding. The kits will be shipped via sea container.
The approximate cost for a “house kit” including shipping to Haiti and all the items mentioned below is: $2,075 per house
Kit includes: An 8 x16 house with one door,
