ODEVICH
Organisation for Holistic Development of Communities in Haïti

 

ODEVICH is a Charitable Organization. We are working in a place called Ferrier located in the Southwest boundaries of Port-au-Prince, Haiti @ 6-7 Km to the National Palace. Our presence in these communities enables us to enter more deeply into the lives of our brothers and sisters who are living in Morne l'hopital which includes a set of rural and/or marginalized urban areas to share their burden for a new Haiti. Ecole communautaire de l'odevich is our first school in the community of Ferrier.
In our vision, we intend to establish other programs such as a library project for children and adults, a small housing program for widows and single parents, a nutrition program for children in school and small business support programs for parents to ensure their children get enough to eat at home while they have to study hard to keep their place in our scholarship program. We have a professional training program and we also have a weekly program of mobile clinics. In addition, we provided emergency responses to disaster victims.

Ferrier Morne l’hopital’s Problem

Since its founding, according to the accounts related by the elders who have known major milestones in the country's history.  Although there are no more than 6 six kilometers that separate this village from the center of the main capital, this population seems to have been excluded from the ruling class.
This village has been experiencing a situation that leads them to the digging of the environment, which greatly contributes to this degradation thus block the springs from gushing over their doors.
Few people today are major water beneficiaries in Morne l'Hôpital. A major problem is that the water they use for washing or other purposes is stagnant. The water collected from rain and kept by a wide channel left after the extraction of the sand seems to be the purest and has fairly frequent visits from people from all over to do the laundry, to bathe, to appease their animals thirsts etc. ..
Add to all this, newborns are the main victims of this spectacle, children are sometimes forced to stay at home for lack of water (impossible to have water to take a shower to go to school). But the problem remains much worse when some families are forced to use it to cook a hot meal. As you know, water is indispensable to humanity existence.
Due to all these parameters and many more, we understand that building a tank for almost every family is something essential so that those most affected by this water shortage are not eternal victims.
