Roof Project in Mirebalais

The roofing/building project is a project aiming to finish the roof of El-Shaddai Christian Church of Mirebalais in Haiti. Elshaddai Christian Church of Mirebalais is located in the city of Mirebalais, north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Because the city of Mirebalais is known for its Rocky Mountains, the steep land requires that the church sets two floor levels before reaching the appropriate ground level for the church to be accessible and visible. The first level of the church has been set as previously mentioned, but due to lack of funding and the economic situations, the roof has never been able to be laid. Since Haiti is a country prone to catastrophic disasters as well as a poor economy, and these dire situations have made it impossible for the church to raise the funds to lay the roof.

As a result of its geographic position and global warming, Haiti is vulnerable to the threats of earthquakes and hurricanes. This requires that constructions in Haiti are to be hurricane and earthquake resistant, able to withstand constant flooding threats. The current lack of proper infrastructure in the church brings an overwhelming fear to the people. Presently, the congregation is worshiping under metal roofing sheets which causes a lot of dangers. For instance, during heavy rain seasons and hurricanes, the metal roofing sheets leak. Leaks often cause rust and fissures which causes the church to spend huge amounts of money they do not have to replace them. Faced with this situation, the church is now looking for financial support to lay the roof on the first floor that will provide a safe, stable, and permanent environment for the congregation to worship.

This project is a matter of urgency as it concerns the life and well-being of the people. The faster we can lay the roof, the more secure the infrastructure will be to solidify the church building and foundation. Please donate and help us realize this project.
