FINANCIALS
We are an IRS approved 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. 100% of donations go directly to the projects on which we are working. We will not start a project until all funds are available to complete the project. At present, all staff are volunteer and administrative costs are assumed by the Executive Director. It is our desire, when necessary, to hire local Haitians to do the work and to staff our programs ie) teachers, principal, nurses, regular dentist, optometrist, pastor and other personnel as needed. Although purchasing many materials is more expensive in Haiti, we will always strive to purchase in Haiti first in order to help build the economy.
