Winchester, Virginia – SHELTER2HOME, LLC is pleased to announce that its subsidiary SHELTER2HOME-HAITI, SA (S2H-HAITI) has completed construction on the first of three schools currently under construction in Haiti. This three room school and Restavec Center was funded by Cross International. It is located in the town of Gressier, about an hours drive west of Port-au-Prince. Teachers and students are excited to use the space. They have started decorating the walls with murals and were using the facility before construction was completed. The school is noticibly cooler than the church and the classical school on site. This was accomplished by the installation of Shelter2Home’s thermal-reflective, barrier insulation, increased ventilation and natural and fluorescent lighting.
We are excited to announce that Greg Demski has joined Shelter2Home as the new VP of Sales & Marketing. Greg has over 30 years of sales, sales management and sales training experience. He has worked in the service industry, real estate and advertising. Greg resides in Stephens City, VA with his wife, Becky and his children, Michelle, Joseph and Daniel. He is anxious to be of service to our existing and new customers alike. Please contact Greg if there is anything we can do for you.
S2H-HAITI offers a variety of building technology: Emergency/Transitional Shelters, Progressive Housing solutions, and building components that can be used to create low-cost to luxury housing, medical clinics, schools, warehouses and buildings up to four stories. S2H-HAITI is currently building fifty (50) houses for displaced families near Les Cayes, two schools, one in Gressier and one in Dufort, and an orphanage for forty-five children near Peguy-Ville. Homes for orphaned children were recently completed in Meyotte and Torbeck, Haiti – housing more than seventy-five children. S2H-HAITI is currently developing a 500 home housing project for the working middle class on twenty-five acres of land near Route #9 and National #1. One, two and three bedroom homes will be offered with water, sewer and electric.
S2H-HAITI is committed to the philosophy that their role in Haiti is to provide a hand-up, not a hand-out, and ultimately contribute to the sustainability of the country by addressing the triple bottom line; the measure of economic, ecological, and social success. It is for this reason that they are locating their first manufacturing facility in Haiti, and are helping to contribute to the local economy through the training and employment of Haitian youth.
