Million Dollar Challenge

Although we can not ignore the deplorable conditions that existed prior to the catastrophic event of January 12 , this tragedy emphasizes the need for a more organized and robust response from the Haitian Diaspora to the suffering of our brothers and sisters. Our individual response to the tragedy has been commendable but as we know, our individual efforts alone will not be sufficient to pull us out of the rubble. These reasons and many more propel Color of Hope, a registered non-profit grassroots organization in Palm Beach County Florida, in collaboration with many more non-profits and individuals to launch this challenge to further validate the belief that the Haitian Diaspora holds the key to Haiti success and to demonstrate concerted leadership.

Goal: Mobilize the Haitian Diaspora to pull together some of its resources into a general fund to assist more effectively with the reconstruction of Haiti.

Objective:
Consolidate our resources in order to maximize our impact.

Engage the Haitian Diaspora youth in the rebuilding of Haiti.

Improve the Haitian Diaspora's effectiveness in helping Haiti.

Unify and organize our individual efforts in order to avoid duplication.

What is the Haitian Diaspora Million Dollar Challenge?

What has Color of Hope been up to since January 12, 2010

Since the unfortunate turn of events on January 12 Color of Hope has been successful in getting things done on the ground from water distribution in the areas of Delmas 40b, Delmas 32, Delmas 33 and the surrounding area to offering a sense of hope to our brothers and sisters. In addition to its ongoing recreational activities for children in the neighborhood of Delmas Color of Hope (COH) is currently creating a variety of projects, to provide those in need with basic necessities.

As you know, the first few days after the earthquake was very difficult for many who did not know the fate of their loved ones. In partnership with several radio stations in Haiti and the United States, including numerous websites, COH helped many locate their family members through a family connection broadcast.

With many buried in mass graves, some barely buried, it it is inevitable and unfortunate that many who perished in this tragedy will be forgotten and that is unconscionable and unacceptable to the members of Color of Hope. This is why they decided to launch the first digital memorial wall for the dead and missing at www.112haiti.com

Color of Hope (COH) has also partnered with organizations and helped coordinate teams of doctors and nurses who have made many trips to Haiti.

 

Color of Hope is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization(EIN/tax ID# is 27-1851170). Your donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
