Haiti is located on an island shared with the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean.Haiti
has been recently ravished by multiple hurricanes; taking lives, destroying homes, contaminating clean water and so on.Additionally, the AIDs epidemic continues to claim the lives of thousands of mothers and fathers each year leaving
their children exposed and vulnerable.In fact 1 out of 8 children die before the age of five, 44% of those
that survive will be illiterate, 70% will be unemployed and most will live the poverty line.

Father Marc is their refuge, maybe their
oasis of hope and we can help the orphans in his care by providing them with a decent, highly hurricane resistant home.Therefore, REACH has partnered with STUCC ON STEEL and SHELTER2HOME to provide the viable building system that will
be constructed with volunteers and the local community.
