Thanks so much for helping us build a sustainable future for kids like Florentina! Because of you, we’ll be able to buy five chickens and their first month of food.
The orphanage already has 18 chickens in a small coop, and those eggs already yield a small profit in support of kids like Florentina.That’s how the orphanage knows that, with more chickens, they’ll be
able to make over $260 a month! As it costs just $250 a year to educate a child, this is a really significant profit.
Combined with an additional business renting out a bus, the orphanage will be making more than $1,000 a month once the chicken coop is built. This will cut its reliance on donations in half.
For kids like Florentina, a sustainable income for the orphanage is the key to a secure, dignified future. Your generosity has brought her one step closer to that bright future. Thanks so much!
We’ll be sending you updates on how your donation is changing Florentina’s life through this project’s parent project, “Make a Haitian Orphanage Self-Sufficient!” right here on GlobalGiving. If you ever have any questions about how we’re using your donation, please don’t hesitate to email Emma@IDVolunteers.org. We’d love to hear from you!
Thanks again for helping Florentina and we wish you all the very best!
Take care,
