Dear friends,

Your help is needed by Athletic Haiti and by the thousands of children we serve.

URGENT HELP NEEDED AFTER THE 2021 EARTHQUAKE

For the people outside of Haiti, this earthquake disaster is similar to the aftermath of the earthquake in 2010, except that it received less media attention due to other world event.

The 2010 earthquake, took a lot of human  lives and infrastructure damage,  but the immediate urgency in the weeks following the earthquake was spent on finding survivors.  The bleeding was contained after the big event and some after shocks, allowing international  relief agencies and governmental agencies to  get in place and start giving water and food.  Most of the damage was situated within 2 hours parameters from the capital, Port au Prince, making access easier after the earthquake.

This 2021 earthquake was stronger (7.2) and shallow, so that the violence spread further on the earth surface and was felt all the way to Cuba and the Dominican Republic, although the epicenter was located in the Southeastern point of Haiti, near Saint Louis de Sud.

  • Estimated casualties of 1300 deaths according to the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC)
  • Inaccessible roads and bridges make aid from Port au Prince, the capital unable to get through.  Thousands of   displaced individuals according to The Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (Le Ministre de la Planification et de la Coopération Externe, MPCE).
  • Thousands of people lost their homes and are living outside, at the mercy of the elements, with Tropical Storm Grace causing flooding.
  • Structures such as hospitals and government buildings, sea ports and airports are severally damaged and inoperable.
  • No food, no water, no shelter.

Our school in Saint Louis du Sud, though still standing, is structurally damage.  Still our teachers, students and their families are sheltering there as their homes are totally destroyed.  The mayor’s building is also destroyed.  We have confirmed death and casualties within our FLADH community of families, teachers and students.  We have about 120 employees and students that we know so far that are homeless due to their homes having been totally destroyed.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

We could not have supported over 20,000 kids over the last twenty years without support from generous spirit like you.  All your contribution flows to food, schooling, books and sports equipment for our kids.  We invite you to come visit our kids, or start a pen pal session with some of them.  All we ask is for small, but consistent donations of $5, $10, $25, or $50 per month. Parents have encouraged their kids to support our program as a way to teach them about philanthropy.  Or if you prefer a one time donation, we would be so grateful.

WE ARE A LEGITIMATE HAITIAN FOUNDATION.  

In the past 20 years, Robert Duval has worked tirelessly with loyal donors to serve over 20,000 kids by  providing  FREE:  sports programs, schooling, school books and uniforms, shoes, daily warm meals, education, travel for international sport competition and vocational training.  Meet our kids on Facebook
