Twin Cities, MN based Reiser Relief Inc. Seeking Food, Water, Education for Haiti Reiser Relief Inc. is a volunteer run non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded by Father Bernard Reiser, who has been involved with Haiti outreach programs for over 13 years.  Reiser Relief is based in Coon Rapids, MN and its mission is to help the impoverished people of the Caribbean country of Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.  The social and environmental problems are the greatest challenges the people of Haiti are facing today. In the midst of these problems, we are compelled to provide the essential services to aid in day-to-day survival.  The services we provide include: fresh water delivery, food centers, and housing, primary grade education and eldercare facilities. Many projects are in or near Cite Soleil; the suburb of the Haitian capital of Port au Prince. One of our original programs that we sponsored was the Village of Jesus, located in the mountain area of Leoganes.  There we built a center caring for abandoned women who have no place to live.  It currently has dormitories, laundry facilities, kitchen, dining area and bathrooms to accommodate these women. With your support, our school programs provide hope that comes with an education for a better future.  Children receive a daily meal at school and for many, this is their only meal for the day. We engage in building and supporting school classrooms and sanitary blocks for sewage. Your donations provide for so much; salaries for teachers, text books, food, uniforms and hope.  Reiser Relief supports two primary schools namely Terre Promise & Reiser Heights Primary. We assisted in building and supporting medical community centers and sanitary blocks for sewage. We also support clinics and small hospitals in Cite Soleil.  The number one cause for illnesses is the lack of clean water and our water deliver program brings life-saving water daily to those in need. Fresh water is obtained from deep wells and trucked to the areas of need.  The water truck operates six days a week making four deliveries too many neighborhoods in Cite Soleil and reaching numerous impoverished families where the local people carry the water home in 5 gallon buckets.  With your help, we can affect thousands of lives for they can not afford to purchase the water on their own, without the water we supply to these impoverished people they can not survive. With the Grace of our living God and help of our donors, in 2008 Reiser Relief partnered with Healing Haiti a non-profit organization and together we purchased 16 acres of land, to build Grace Village. It will be a little city of peace including Maranatha Orphanage for handicapped, deaf, orphaned and abandoned poor children living in severe poverty.  A separate facility will be constructed that will provide for the elderly.  We are pleased to share that in 2009 the ground breaking has begin for Grace Village, please see the video. The people of Haiti await your generous response and pray for God's abundant blessings upon you. We are committed to providing essential services to aid in day-to-day survival of thousands. We live among abundance, the Haitians in extreme poverty. Help me to help them. Love and Prayers, Father Reiser
