IMPACTFUL 2023
Dear Valued Supporters,
On behalf of the JA Clermont Memorial Foundation, I would like to share our deepest gratitude to the Knights of Columbus and the parishioners of St John, for your continued support for our children in Haiti. We feel truly blessed to be one of the fortunate organizations chosen to take part in St John’s Alternative Giving.
We hope that 2024 has started on a wonderful note for you. As we reflect on the incredible journey of the foundation in 2023, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your ongoing support of The Jacques A. Clermont Foundation. Your generosity has transformed the lives of children in Jacmel, Haiti and has given much-needed hope to the entire community during very challenging times. We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks and give you a snapshot of all that we were able to accomplish in 2023, with our new Program Director extraordinaire, Evens Egalite.
In 2023, your contributions made a profound impact:
We continued to provide essential resources such as food, clothing, hygiene kits, school tuition and books to 19 children, giving them a sense of stability and the opportunity to imagine a better future.
We have expanded our reach by supporting the sisters of the boys in our program, as well as providing support for 6 additional girls to learn English at The Universal English Academy.
We made improvements to our foundation's center, creating a safer and more nurturing environment for these young hearts to thrive.
For the first time since the foundation was created, we established a summer camp for our kids, kids in the community, and volunteers from local universities.
We have been able to bring several alumni back under our umbrella, allowing them to pursue higher education and vocational training.
One of the highlights of the year was empowering some of the parents to start micro-businesses, allowing them to better support themselves and their children's future. Your financial support not only changes lives but empowers families and strengthens communities
As we move into 2024, we invite you to stay tuned for ongoing progress reports on the incredible impact your contributions are making, and keep you up to date with upcoming projects, like the creation of a kindergarten
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to witness the progress our families are making and connect with our community. Your continued support and encouragement mean the world to us and the children we serve.
Thank you for being a part of our mission to create a brighter future for the children, families and communities of Haiti.
With gratitude,
Board- JA Clermont Memorial
