Phase One – Infrastructure & Staffing Needs

0.88 acres of land have already been purchased and fully self-funded.

To complete Phase One, we must secure an additional 1.5 acres and finalize essential infrastructure that ensures safety, sanitation, and operational readiness.

⸻

1. Land & Infrastructure Needs

Land Expansion

    •    1.5 acres of land – $50,000

Expanding the campus footprint is essential to support classrooms, trade workshops, student housing, and future program growth.

⸻

Site Security & Perimeter

    •    Concrete barrier fence wall (for the existing 0.88 acres) – $30,000

Safety is a necessity due to local conditions.

    •    Two metal driveway gates – $4,000

⸻

Safe Water Access

    •    Safe drinking water well – $6,000

Only about 60% of Haitians have access to safe drinking water.

    •    One well is already installed and is providing free water to local residents.

⸻

Sanitation Facilities

    •    Two-stall toilet facility – $2,000

Only about 37% of Haitians have access to basic sanitation.

A single stall exists currently for construction workers.

    •    Two-stall shower facility – $2,000

(One stall already built.)

⸻

Storage & Construction Support

    •    Storage depot completion – $8,000

The lower level is built; funds are needed to complete the upper section for secure storage of tools, materials, and supplies.

⸻

Road Access

    •    Road repair to the property – $2,000

Less than 20% of roads in Haiti are paved.

Dirt roads are frequently damaged, requiring ongoing repairs.

Long-term plan: install durable road-base material to ensure safe access year-round.

⸻

Income-Generating Multi-Use Building

    •    Cross Multi-Use Duplex Building – $35,000

This structure will:

    •    Provide limited onsite habitation,

    •    Generate income to support the school,

    •    Serve as a hands-on training space for hospitality and building-trades instruction.

A total of four duplex buildings will eventually be required.

⸻

2. Staffing Needs

To maintain daily operations, security, and student support, Phase One requires:

Security

    •    Two security officers – $200/month each

Safety is essential for staff, students, and visiting volunteers.

A third officer will be needed as the campus expands.

Operational Staff

    •    Superintendent – $400/month

Oversees day-to-day project management and construction coordination.

    •    Handyman / Groundskeeper – $150/month

    •    Two cooks – $200/month each

In Haiti, employers are expected to provide meals for workers due to widespread poverty and food insecurity.

    •    Driver – $150/month

Transportation is essential for supply runs, logistics, and staff travel since availability of vehicles is limited.

⸻

Transportation

    •    Used multi-purpose vehicle – $15,000

Necessary for transporting materials, staff, and supplies to and from the site—especially due to damaged roads and limited public transportation.

⸻

Total Phase One Impact

Phase One establishes the foundation—literally and operationally—for a sustainable, trade-based education center that will:

    •    Provide safe water and proper sanitation to students and workers.

    •    Create local employment.

    •    Offer secure infrastructure in a region with limited paved roads and scarce public services.

    •    Generate income to help the school become self-sustaining.

    •    Lay the groundwork for trade education that can transform lives, families, and communities.
