Vision 4 Haiti and their Ministry has donated 50+ acres in Pignon, Haiti for our first residential/agricultural site. They have also committed

land for other village sites throughout Haiti. The ministry has a school, medical clinic, social services and churches

already in place and have committed their unconditional support in our concept and relocation plan. (letter from Rev.Jepthe Lucien)

Annas Enterprises & Co.  Real Estate and Construction Aggregates

      Jarabocoa, Dominican Republic, - Michael Perez, President (809) 277-8818

Annas Enterprises will supply concrete for building pads and other building supplies until a reliable source of concrete can be

obtained from within Haiti.   Anna's will also manage the unloading of shipping containers and the processing and delivery of

the palletized homes to village locations.

They will deliver the necessary tools and pre-construct the support infrastructure at the Phase 1 site to accommodate an arriving

work force. This includes initial land clearing,site planning, the construction of on-site sanitary systems, i.e., septic, bath and shower

facilities. They will also train the initial 300 or so individuals who will be immediately moved to the village site to be trained in

constructing the  arriving CD-MAC houses.

CD-MAC has partnered with My Generation Solar Inc. to provide 2 types of solar units to help make our villages completed self

reliant for basic home and communal lighting. Two different sizes of portable solar power units   will be utilized in each of our

planned communities. One for residential clusters and another to light communal areas and civic buildings

   

Pollos Del Norte. Commercial Poultry Farming

    Daniel Suarez,  Managing Director, Santiago, Dominican Republic  (317) 710-5380   (347) 525-2241

Pollos del Norte have agreed to build a Poultry Farm on our Pignon site to service an area with no poultry farm within 40 miles.

They will provide sustainability, employment and eventual expansion into other areas of Central and Northern Haiti with no poultry

farms. The Poultry farm will provide a good source of egg and poultry protein and lower the cost of chicken in the entire region

They also agreed to let the employees assume ownership by reinvesting half their salaries back into acquisition of the farm.  Employee

ownership of business and agriculture via the Mondragon model of cooperative ownership is one of the cornerstone of all our

planned communities

               Manufacturer of modular panelized homes. Through our due diligence, we found theShepley palletized design to be the

               most affordable while also exceeding the hurricane resistant standards needed for a project in the Northern Caribbean,

               Shepley has designed a home which can withstand category 3 (125 mph) hurricane winds. Although our first relocation

               site in Pignon is directly in the center of the country in a valley surrounded by mountains, we still require those hurricane

               resistant specifications for future sites that may not be so well protected during hurricane season

         

Empower Playgrounds - Electricity Generating Playground Equipment

     Ben Markham.  Empower Playgrounds (EPI) Provo, Utah  www.empowerplaygrounds.org        
         Empower Playgrounds, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides renewable energy to villages in rural third world countries

through electricity-generating play­ground equipment and smart LED lanterns. We plan to utilize a " whirl" in the school yard to

provide much needed recreation as well as generate electricity to power portable lanterns the school children and community in

general can utilize. By utilizing these Merry-go-rounds known as ”whirls” we will provide the power needs for portable lanterns that

light evening activities at home. 

“Enabling students to study and read at night is a life-changing development for families living in isolated areas without power,”

says Ben Markham.“Working to develop and install new whirls allows Empower to bring light to more villages in Africa and beyond"...

Using state-of-the-art electronic controllers, wind power generators, and speed-increasing gearboxes, the merry-go-round is designed to

convert a portion of the kinetic energy from children at play to usable electrical power.The electric power produced when children turn the

merry-go-round charges large batteries capable of storing about two days of play. Highly efficient LED lanterns with a 45 hour run life are

recharged about every two weeks. Smart recharging circuits ensure a lantern battery pack life of many years. The children learn energy

management while using the lanterns each day at school and at home
