Like most other countries on this planet, Haiti is dealing with confirmed cases of coronavirus infections. Unlike most countries, Haiti has the least resources for coping with the ravages of this pandemic.
To date, the town of Jeremie, Haiti has no known cases of coronavirus infections. The quick implementation of PREVENTIVE MEASURES is the best hope of keeping it that way, and minimizing the spread of the dreaded virus. Time is of the essence.
To help combat COVID-19 and stop the spread, Tek4Kids is partnering with other nonprofits in Jeremie: Hopestart International, Vilaj Ansanm, Jeremie Christian Mission and HSMS Haiti. Tek4Kids has set up 6 locations at its partner schools where FREE CLEAN WATER is being provided to anyone who comes, six days per week.
In addition, Hopestart International has begun a campaign to provide sanitation stations to 5,000 families in Jeremie. A donation of $29 provides one family a sanitation station that includes these essential elements for stopping the spread of COVID-19:
• Covered bucket with spout
• 3 Month supply of Actimed Antibacterial soap
• 3 Month supply of Colorox beads
• 2 washable hand made masks
• Labor for masks/stations
• Hand Washing guide
• Transportation
Hopestart will make these stations available as funds come in. You can donate to Hopestart here: https://give.classy.org/StopTheSpread/
