Current Projects and Opportunities

In 2021 during our annual meetings, we identified two of our schools that desperately needing repairs and expanding. We prayed about the projects and shared the vision with our supporters. We received a positive response from WorldShare UK, www.worldshare.org.uk and our planning began.

Respecting our Haitian partners desire to retain ownership of their land, PiFò Haiti was able to assist with some of the schools' operating expenses which allowed them to finance the expansions and renovations using their own resources.

Both building projects were scheduled to be completed at the beginning of the 2022 school year, but due to the political instability and lack of access to building supplies, the projects were finally completed in 2023.

Pastor Cenet's Church and School

The school in the mountainous community of Bois-Lette has undergone almost a complete rebuild. Their walls were built many years ago from porous rocks and crumbling mortar. Cenet Guay, the local pastor and school director, has been able to finish more than half of the project despite the lack of availability of supplies and fuel. The additional classroom space was a welcome improvement at the start of the school year. We look forward to completing the school office and storage area this year.

2nd Story Added to School in Anse-à-Galets

The school expansion at IJFFU is almost complete. Monal and his wife Maccia were so excited to show us the new second story that has been built over the past few months. Monal had been purchasing supplies since the spring in anticipation of this large project. He is so grateful he was able to get most of the items needed before the island became cut off from the mainland and it's supplies. The entire staff is so excited to begin the new year. In 2023 they will begin refinishing blackboards and building much needed shelving for the classrooms.

COMPLETED in 2025

Secure Depot and Office Space

PiFò Haiti project manager, Emerson Dalmas has space in front of his house where he will be building a safe, sturdy structure which will serve as a storage depot plus a small office. This space will enable Emerson to have a secure area to store perishable food purchased for the community food programs, as well as an space where he can manage PiFò Haiti . Currently Emerson has 10 people living in his home. Using his family home to store items is no longer viable.

2026 UPDATE: The concrete blocks for the project are being made and construction supplies purchased as they become available on the island.

Due to the continued instability on the mainland, the cost of supplies continues to rise. We are looking for supporters who would be interested in helping us cover this increased cost so we can finish the project.

Expanded Food Programs

Our food programs support 3 schools, and a group of vulnerable and elderly people in the community. It is a crucial program during the current humanitarian crisis in Haiti.

When school ends for summer, so do the food programs. With the food prices having tripled in the past few years, the school lunch was often the only meal the children received that day.

We are exploring the option of offering a small food program to vulnerable students during the summer months. We would love to have your support!
