Israel Alexandre was one of Project Rouj’s first employees and one of those people you simply couldn’t forget. He had the biggest smile, worked alongside us for years, translated for our groups, and welcomed us into his family’s home with fresh coconuts and incredible hospitality.

In his memory, we are building two Project Rouj homes for two Haitian families. Right now, every gift will go TWICE as far. A generous donor is matching donations dollar for dollar, up to $50,000.

Help us build The Coconut Houses and continue Israel’s legacy of hard work, joy, and generosity. Link in bio to donate!
