Haiti

We operate a free Community Lunch program. All the groceries bought from local farmers and the food cooked by a team of local women.  This gives us the opportunity to not only give food to the poor, but brings employment to the local cooks. Currently we give away 200+ hot lunch a week to the hungry.

$2 Canadian per plate is our budget.  This covers groceries, propane for the stove tanks, cooks, utensils, and delivery to those who are unable to pick up their lunch.  Each guest brings their own dish, so we save on buying disposable plates and there is close to zero waste.

When you partner with us monthly, it helps us plan our lunch budget and I know we can grow as fast as the funds come in.  We plan to be at 500 plates per week by December 31, 2025.  This practical help for the most vulnerable (many of our senior guests are homeless, sleeping on the side of the road) can only be done with your generous help. 

India 

Our project in India provides village water wells to people without access to drinking water.  The installation of these bore wells drilled by local contractors, and will last 25 - 30 years. The water is drinkable directly from the pump! These water wells supply water to rural villages, far out into the countryside. These villages of 100 - 150 families are thankful for clean, fresh water they no longer have to walk hours and hours to get.

$3600 includes professional site inspection and drilling team, borewell truck rental, cement platform, pump fixtures and a customized granite plaque.

Nepal 

We provide the funds to hire expert local well drillers, and water is brought to remote neighbourhoods, far out into the countryside. 

$1300 provides a small water pump with cement platform, and these are used by 5 - 10 grateful families.

Thank you for partnering with ACI and helping us help others!
