أمل للجياع - هايتي

لقد كنا نتطلع إلى يومنا هذا منذ أن علمنا لأول مرة بالزلزال المدمر في هايتي في كانون الثاني (يناير) الماضي والذي خلفه 250,000 قتلى وشردوا آخر 1.2 مليون.

بعد الزيارة هايتي في يونيو الماضي كنا نعلم أن حل الإسكان لدينا يمكن أن يلعب دورًا رئيسيًا في إعادة بناء هذا البلد. تقارير اليوم تخبرنا بذلك 85% من الناس ما زالوا يعيشون في خيام بمخيمات اللاجئين. إعادة البناء هايتي سوف يستغرق عقود. Today we are pleased to announce that Hope for the Hungry will be utilizing our technology as part of Hope’s Fresh Start Haiti program. Fresh Start Haiti is more than just building new homes, it’s about creating jobs and breaking the cycle of poverty. IADDIC’s DuraMold will be at the center of a construction job training program that can lift hundreds out of poverty into a secure and sustainable living environment. The teach-to-fish approach to reconstruction is what the Shelter the World principles were developed for and we are honored to partner with the Hope for the Hungry organization.

Based in Belton, TX, نأمل الجياع is a non-profit NGO that operates in 16 countries with a heavy concentration in Haiti. 85% of their 100+ structures were damaged in the 2010 earthquake and need replacement. IADDIC has been selected as the housing technology to replace most of these homes. Hope also plans to establish a new construction company based on the IADDIC system to create jobs and meet the needs of the 1.5 million homes of Haiti. Hope will likely become IADDIC’s primary local resource for coordinating projects throughout Haiti as they have over 30 years experience and influence throughout the country. This first shipment comes after an extensive pilot program that was conducted at their Belton home office. They have purchased a DuraMold and materials to build the iHouse communities in Haiti. IADDIC will be sending a team to Haiti to oversee the training program once the container has been received through customs. This shipment takes place in less than 2 weeks. www.hopeforthehungry.org
