La Main Tendre Orphanage and School

Prior to the earthquake, La Main Tendre Orphanage housed all thirty of its children in a large comfortable building with a free school. The earthquake destroyed that structure as well as the school. We've already helped the orphanage re-open its school, and now we're helping them reach their construction goals.

Full Description:

Since October, 2010, we’ve worked with the La Main Tendre Orphanage to build a transitional classroom on the orphanage’s property, ensuring that all the children were able to attend class, equip that school with desks, school supplies, and a chalkboard, and provide health education.

Today, our work with the LMT orphanage is complete, and we're delighted by how they've used the tools we provided to build a more sustainable future.
