European Disaster Volunteers: Foyer d’Orelph Orphanage
European Disaster Volunteers (EDV), has worked in Haiti for more than 13 months now, and BWB has supported our efforts from the very beginning. Most recently, BWB donated $2,000 to help us address one of the most challenging parts of our work in Haiti: helping the orphanages we support become self-sufficient. We’re tackling this huge challenge with one of the most vulnerable orphanages we work with, the Foyer d’Orelph Orphanage, from two angles. First, we’ll register the orphanage with the Haitian government, allowing them increased access to NGO support. Then we’ll focus on helping the directors of the organisation start a small business which will provide a sustainable income for the orphanage.
