Help Us Create a Survival Fund for 31 Girls in Haiti

This is a challenging time for everyone, locally and globally. We are asking a few of our key partners to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work via our new peer-to-peer "Nous Vivons! We Live!" campaign.

By becoming a fund raiser for Hearthstone Village, you will help make sure that 31 girls and their caregivers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti have enough to eat, can cover their housing costs, and guarantee security for the next year. Plus, you'll help your friends feel good about doing good.

Each month, it costs $5,000 to feed and safely house these girls and their caregivers. This amount covers water, food, rent, staff salaries and basics (like toilet paper, maxi pads, medications, and other necessities). To give you a better sense of the breakdown: it costs $1,300 each month for breakfast, a main meal and the evening snack. In Haiti, every plate of food makes a difference — help us make sure each our girls gets the nutrition she needs.

Important facts to consider:

- The United Nations recently named Haiti as the country in the northern hemisphere most likely to experience dire food scarcity within the next year — Reveil Matinel staff ensures there are three meals a day for our girls.

- 1 in 15 Haitian children is a "restavek", meaning "house slave", which currently involves over 300,000 children, 60% of which are girls — our girls are in a secure environment, protected from this danger.

- Sex traffickers target 15 to 17 year olds. Those living in unethical orphanages are especially vulnerable — Reveil Matinel is a safe haven and we want to keep it that way.

Starting a fundraiser is easy to do, and it's fun. We'll give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help we can ensure survival of our beloved family in Haiti.
