Phase 2:

IN PROGRESS

Temporary Primary School Classes

Construction COMPLETE & FUNDED 

$35,000 US- Due to the overwhelming need for primary school facilities in the communities of Grand-Goave, plans for the primary school at HAM were advanced. Temporary classes accommodate Pre-school to 4^th grade classes with 210 students starting in Oct 2010. Funding for operations is still needed. You can help by sponsoring a student through our Education Fund.

Each ONE, Build ONE Home Rebuilding 

$6,000 US/ home- Many homes in the community were destroyed as a result of the earthquake Jan 12, 2010. In response, HAM is helping families rebuild their own homes. Each family chosen must help in the construction of their home plus one other home.

Medical Clinic

IN PROGRESS- PARTIALLY FUNDED 

$150,000 US*- There is a great need for health care in Haiti. In the community of Grand-Goave there is a local hospital which HAM is partnering with, but there is only one other Haitian doctor who is running a local clinic. We intend to build a medical clinic on the existing property with intent to use the building to facilitate medical teams and two full-time local nurses. Currently the residential building is used for hosting bi-annual clinics.

Reconstruction & Expansion of Trade School Building

$700,000 US- The HAM Trade School was damaged severely in the Jan 12, 2010 earthquake and was torn down. The new construction of the trade school will be four times the size of the original facility. The building will be equipped with 19 classrooms, a library, kitchen and two science labs.

2012 

Children’s/Orphan Homes Village 

$25,000 US/ home*- There is a need for a facility to accommodate children who do not have families to care for them. HAM has a vision to build family style homes that would house a maximum of 10 children with 1-2 care givers creating family units. Due to the earthquake, this project has been moved up in priority as the need for orphan care has increased. A village of 8 duplexes/fourplexes are in the site plan for the new 7-acre property.

Primary & High School 

$120,000 US*- There is a great need in the community of Grand-Goave for additional secondary schools. As the HAM primary school grows, there are plans for a permanent facility and a secondary school to be built to allow HAM the opportunity to help children attain education beginning in infancy through completion in adulthood.

2013

Phase 3 

Trade School Shop Facility and Equipping 

$100,000 US*- The next expansion of the trade school is projected to move the carpentry, automotive mechanical and welding/fabrication classes to a new shop area, since these classes create noise that conflicts with the English, computer and other Academic classes. The shop is proposed as a covered shelter area with concrete floors and storage building for related materials and tools. Estimates and plans are being reviewed for this project.

Church Building 

$325,000 US* – The HAM church dramatically exceeds capacity. The trade school has been a priority for capital costs. Consequently, the 400+ people congregation has made do with the dirt floor and open-air shelter. Plans for a church building have been made to include offices, classrooms, a library and a multi-use sanctuary and will be built on the new 7 acre property.

2014

Phase 4 

Administration Building 

$230,000 US*- The trade and theological school will benefit from an administration and conference meeting facility to accommodate the needs of the growing management. This facility will include multiple office spaces. Preliminary plans have been drawn for this facility. 

Student Dormitories 

$400,000 US*- Currently students travel from towns throughout the western parts of Haiti to attend classes at HAM. As the school develops, many more out of town students will come, thus presenting the need for dormitory facilities for housing them. These facilities would include sleeping areas, bathrooms, eating areas and common areas.
