The Fountain project
Becoming a sustainable organization is our dream, and with your contribution you're helping us make it a reality.
Jason and Brenda Atkins are on a mission to tackle poverty in Haiti, and they firmly believe that education and jobs are the key to making it happen, just like us.
Their big dream is to help Haiti Mama become a self-sustaining non-profit organization. This incredible initiative is all about preserving and restoring families in Haiti by focusing on community social work, education, and creating job opportunities.
The Atkins have been collaborating with Haiti Mama for over 7 years now. It all started when they realized that the orphanage we were funding had 7 children, but here's the kicker—every single one of them had families! These kids weren't your typical orphans; they were poverty orphans. That's when we made a pivotal decision to close the orphanage, reunite the children with their families, and empower those families with jobs so they could stand on their own two feet.
With Haiti Mama we all brought this vision to life. Today, each of those children are happily back with their families, in their own homes, and their parents are employed, creating amazing artisan products for The Mama Box.
We've spent years collaborating with Haiti Mama, and we believe we've cracked the code to make them self-sustaining. How, you ask? By harnessing the power of their subscription box, aptly named the The Mama Box. If we can reach 9,500 subscriptions per year, the entire organization would become self-sustaining!
Just to give you some context, the Glam subscription box from Etsy has a staggering 3.2 million subscriptions. So, we're confident that 9,500 is not only achievable but a milestone worth aiming for.
To get there, we've got some plans in motion. We need to bring in a marketing whiz and a new executive director (Camille started with the HM family in May 2024!) and strengthen our leadership team in Haiti.
In addition to our increased personal donation to Haiti Mama, we'll need an additional $125,000 USD annually over the next 3 years to make this strategy a reality.
That's where you come in!
We're assembling a small, passionate group of private donors known as The Fountain. Just like the fountain represents a continuous flow of life and energy, we're building a self-sustaining model around The Mama Box. Be one of the 25 amazing individuals to commit $5k annually over the next 3 years ($15k in total) to help us achieve this incredible goal.
You'll be helping us hire the team we need to boost The Mama Box subscriptions, create jobs in Haiti, send children to school, and support our disability care program and family services. You’ll be changing the lives of thousands of people.
If this initiative resonates with you and you'd like to be a part of this transformative journey, please don't hesitate to reach out. We'd be absolutely thrilled to discuss it further with you.
Imagine, in just 3 years, with your support, Haiti mama could become 100% self-sustaining. How many charities can say that? We believe we can set a shining example of true, long-term impact.
Please, join us on this remarkable journey!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Jason and Brenda
