This project with a period of performance of 3 years will end on December 31 2023. This project was needed to bring awareness to the population about the role of the mangroves in cleaning the air from CO2 emission in reduction of global warming in serving the crustaceous and the fish as a natural habitat to migrate and reproduce. Unaware of the role of the mangroves the poor people have been cutting the mangroves to make charcoal as a source of income and cooking fuel. This project was intended to educate the population and to offer alternative economic activities capable of generating new income source rather than preying on the mangroves to make money. The goals of this project is to impact directly 7,185 families or 39,995 persons directly and indirectly 71,849 people in Haiti. This project is being executed in 3 regions: Petit Trou des Nippes Cite Soleil and Barraderes targeting the vulnerable and the poorest population living near the mangroves as well as the fishermen. The beneficiaries of the project include 655 families who will be able to generate income through other means 60 fishermen 10 fish vendors 400 charcoals producers 35 beekeepers. AHAMES will train 15 local organizations to produce plants and protect the mangroves. This project plans to restore 50 hectares of mangroves educate and empower three local communities in forest management of mangroves. 237204 0 306552 1598745 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 0 0 0 false true HA false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false 7 5 false false false false false true true true true true false true true true true true true false true false X Elianose Mentor 5092947996 Fontamara 27 Rue Dr Douyon No 4 Port Au Prince Haiti HA W.

In June 2021 AHAMES had to relocate its offices to safer area and away from the gang violence. For this reason some assets were acquired to settle in the new location. Following the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck the south region of Haiti on August 12 2021 causing widespread damages to housing livestocks and the lost of more than 2,000 lives and 13,000 injured AHAMES has executed 2 more Emergency rescue projects with Malteser International and the Joint Bureau DKH FLM RMC NCA. To implement these two projects more assets were also acquired to ensure the execution of those projects. With the opening of local offices in the Nippes Belle Anse Barraderes and Camp Perrin the organization has also acquired assets such as generators solar panels batteries office equipments desks vehicles motorcycles etc. to execute those projects in these remote areas with access to almost nothing. In addition to these assets the executive director has also donated funds to AHAMES to allow the organization to reduce part of its debt.

Part XII, Line 3 | Explanation:| AHAMES does not perform any work for any United States organization or the U.S. government or any entity associated with the United States. No U.S. person is involved in any financial operation of the organization in Haiti nor has access to the Organization's bank accounts by project that are controlled by the European international organization funding agency.
