After the initial emergency response to save lives, Haiti is beginning to rebuild as people come alongside and empower the Haitians to solve problems, create solutions, and provide sustainable programs. Hear The Cry will be partnering with two Haitian led organizations that are leading the movement from disaster relief to sustainable development: J/P HRO and the LGL Foundation.

J/P Haitian Relief Organization is a non-profit organization founded by the American actor Sean Penn in response to the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti. J/P HRO continues to keep in step with the needs on the ground as they evolve. Hear The Cry will join J/P HRO programs that focus on supporting the residents of the camps they manage and the surrounding communities in the ongoing post-earthquake reconstruction effort.

Alongside J/P HRO we’re about supporting stronger communities in Haiti. Delmas 32 is the community we will be serving. It’s home to 90,000 residents and is roughly one square Kilometer. That population density rivals the top 10 cities in the world, according to recent UN studies. We will have the opportunity to support current development programs including: medical, engineering and construction, community development, camp and relocations, and reforestation.

Dr. Louis G. Lamothe is the founder of the Dr. Louis G. Lamothe Foundation (LGLF). The LGL Foundation works in the small mountain village of Nan Panyol. The goal is to transform the community of Nan Panyol into a self-sustaining village through using its own resources. Hear The Cry will partner with the LGL Foundation alongside sustainable agriculture projects including: training workshop for the farmers, reforestation, building training centers, and replanting the Haitian coffee trees.
