Water Filtration System & New Bathroom, Haiti


  • Port-au-Prince Haiti (map)

In April 2019, the JD Sheth Foundation partnered with Lumiere D’Education Foundation, Inc., an Indiana-based, nonprofit that operates an elementary school just outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  This foundation provides a free education to approximately 140 students and serves the children and their families multiple meals a week.  Our foundation raised money to help them complete a fully functioning bathroom with running water and a sewer connection for the school.  In addition to the bathroom, we donated towards the installation of a clean water filtration system for their well.  Three of our board members, Jaimie Sheth, Kelly Sanders, and Sonya Burkhart, were able to spend time with the students, tour the school and learn about their curriculum, and meet the parents on our visit in April.
