Emergency Support

Because the Fondasyon Dauphin is a high-profile organization within the educational community of Borgne, they often get other requests for assistance.

Over the years we have supported them by providing funding for special projects after weather events and other natural disasters. For example:

• Support to send buses to Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake to bring students of Borngelaise families back home who were studying in Port-au-Prince.
• Support for schools receiving students who left Port au Prince after the earthquake.
• Support for community cholera education programs and water treatment supplies during the cholera outbreak.
• Replacing books and school materials after flooding events.
• Repairs of the Fondasyon building and other school buildings, mostly roof replacements due to wind damage.

We  have also sponsored one-time fun social events for the students of the Fondasyon and for the larger community of school children in Borgne including:

• An interscholar soccer tournament.
• Partial funding of a soccer field.
• Holiday parties for the Fondasyon children.
• Field trip to Dominican Republic for Children of the Foundation and Rural Friends.  Many had never been on a bus before, let alone out of the country!
