The community of Baquette is only a few
kilometers from the town of Jacmel but is isolated by its
geography. It is a steep bowl of a valley rising from the ocean to
a ridge 1000 meters above the sea. There are 340 households in the
valley that survive by intermittent fishing and next to no
agriculture. On top of this Haiti has been suffering for the past
two years from extreme drought ,making life next to impossible !!
There is no electricity, no clinic and no
school. Access is by boat only and many cannot afford the fare to
cross .First is to create catchment basins so all rainwater and what
the small creek has in order to create irrigation and water points ,
Next will be a community centre that can double as a clinic and as a
school!!
And in usual SIDR style we will assist by
providing them with seed to make community gardens!
Please donate or consider volunteering with
us on this much needed project!!
