Disaster Relief and Repair Project: After the devastating Category 4 Hurricane Matthew
destroyed much of Haiti at the end of 2016, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® got to
work repairing and rebuilding. Several water wells in Les Cayes were repaired, 588 roofs were
repaired, and several community buildings have been rebuilt including an elementary school
for 152 students in Les Cayes. ‚
Water Line Repair Project: Since 2014, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation has been
working in Les Cayes, Haiti, to drill wells and install water systems to reduce rates of infectious
disease due to unclean drinking water. Water systems have since been installed in the com­
munities of Bois Saint Hilaire, Tricon, and Fonfrede. After Hurricane Matthew at the end of 2016,
the solar panels and pump functionality of a well in Haiti was repaired, and three new wells
were drilled. The water link between a pump house and a water tank at Morency provides clean
water to this community, allowing the children to attend school instead of collecting water
that is often contaminated. The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation has previously worked
on projects to improve the community school, and has built a vetiver warehouse to benefit the
farming operation of vetiver in Haiti. ‚
