Welcome to AMIS SOLEIL Site EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AMI SOLEIL, is a non- profit organization with a focus of education to alleviate hunger and to empower children and adults living in dead end poverty communities in Haiti. Our services to children include a program of basic human needs and education. Our empowerment program is for committed adults willing to work and improve; it includes funding for business projects and training for work opportunities and community improvement. AMI SOLEIL legal filing for NPO structure and tax exemption in progress. The Company relies on sales of goods and services from fund raising activities, financial and volunteer support from committed friends and family, charitable organization, corporate sponsors and grants. We believe that it’s not normal for children to walk around naked and dirty everyday and get sick and die simply from lack of food and clean-water. Living under those bottom line poverty conditions for any human being is undignified and kills hopes and dreams; as well as make it difficult to focus, learn, and succeed. Our strategy to create lasting gift programs for children and adults and to start with the most desperate ones, originated from our philosophy. Haiti is nominated as the poorest and the most illiterate country in the Western hemisphere. The social and economic situation to date is extremely grave, with 78% of Haitians living on less than US $2 a day. Our first program will be in Cap-Haiti. Our approach is children first. We want to help them to have a good start from the beginning. They are most vulnerable and pay a greater price. The alarming poverty in Haiti calls for a more tenacious approach to self-dependency programs. A pivotal aspect of motivating the people and capturing their interest to get involved and to support is to help them understand our mission and make them feel that they all have something important to offer and benefit from. They do! To start, we need to raise an estimated amount of $150,000 to cover the start up and running cost for the first year of the Cap-Haiti School Program. In the meantime, the rest of the team is advancing with research and due diligence; such as organizing meetings for careful recruiting the school staff, working on the sketch of the school floor plan, selecting the educational materials, furniture and food supplies. The team is seriously eager and would like to get the Cap-Haiti school up and running by January 2009 (see financial budget section), latest. AMI SOLEIL administrative cost is zero. We are commited members without pay and we cover AMI Soleil's administrative cost out of pocket so donated funds and resources are invested directly into empowerment programs to help impoverish families care for their children and achieve goals of self-sufficiency. This is a small investment with long term positive impact in human lives in comparison to the cost of ignoring the problem of hunger in impoverish communities and the influence it can have on health, crime and illegal migration issues. Efficient use of resources and successful execution of the mission is how we intend to measure effectiveness of the empowerment programs; as well as to keep our promise to AMI SOLEIL supporting members and to ourselves.
