The Jesuit Commission for Intervention in the Greater South in Haiti has started the process of rebuilding homes affected by the earthquake last August 4, 2021.

In February, Fr Kawas François SJ and the coordination team visited their four areas of focus: Sucrerie Henri and Ducis in the South department, and Pestel and Corail in the Grand’ Anse department. Engineer Lérismé, the technical coordinator, is surveying these areas to identify construction sites, plan the building of structures to store materials, recruit and train workers and coordinate other pre-construction activities.

Thank you again to all our friends and supporters who helped CJI raise over $157,000. This amount makes up part of the Xavier Network’s commitment of $607,000 to the project which has a total budget of $2.09 million. Additional contributions from our supporters and friends are most welcome.
