Unbelievable sadness in Haiti.
We’ve been watching and waiting since news broke about the massive earthquake. While we await a full reporting of the damage, our resolve to serve our communities is growing ever deeper.
Haiti needs you. We need you. Donate generously today. Sailsforsustenance.org

Haiti's fishermen need a hand up, not a handout. Donated sails lower the cost of entry to business and fishermen become entrepreneurs, selling excess catch at profit and bringing income to their families. You can help here.

We cannot do this without you. Whether you have sails, time or financial resources- you can make a huge difference in the lives of Haiti's subsistence fishermen today.
