A letter from Vice President-Coordination of Deschapelles Project, Jenifer Grant

Up until very recently, we have been blessed by the fact that rural “Deschapelles has been outside of the mayhem and disruptions that have plagued the area around Port-au-Prince. Inflation, lack of fuel, and difficulty in getting actual cash from the bank for our programs in Deschapelles have made an impact, but otherwise things have been calm.” Read the full letter here.
