An improvised tent is used as a school, a church and community house. It provides 

education, hope and social skills to a 100 homeless children. The water used for 

drinking has to be carried from the nearby polluted river, which makes the risk of 

getting diseases such as cholera very big. Hinche was the place where the cholera

epidemic broke out in Haiti. We believe this project has a lot of potential 

because it was started by local Haitians and will in the future be carried by them. 

We want to support them by first providing a waterpump, to obtain clean 

drinking water. In the future we want to acquire the land were the tent stands and 

thinking about building a new communal building.   

 

PROGRESS

 

In autumn 2014 Fonmo Haiti received a loan from Studio Hive Five to buy a piece of 

land near the river for the installation of the waterpump for clean water. In January 

2015 our partner let us know that they’ve found drinkable water that will provide the 

whole community of drinkable water. We are happy to anounce that we have started 

with the construction of the waterpump.
