Mission Statement
The mission of Jeff Cherubin Domond Foundation is to educate and care for the less fortunate by creating real and lasting changes for those who are in desperate need of the most essentials of life.
About This Cause
Jeff Cherubin Domond foundation is a Christian faith-based non-profit organization (C3) focusing on providing health care, education and social opportunities for the people living in the community of Marbial, Haiti and its surroundings. The Jeff Cherubin Domond foundation was created 18 years ago in order to celebrate the life of our son who loved people and treasured children. The foundation is where his legacy lives on and its goal is to eradicate the plight of poverty in Marbial. During the past 18 years we have organized medical mission trips to Marbial where no medical facilities exist and no doctors or nurses available to provide medical care. It was our dream to build a medical facility so we may be able to provide better care for the community. in June 2021, our hospital “Centre Hospitalier Chirurgical Jeff & Rita Domond” was finally dedicated. Being an educator myself, my first vision was to have a school to benefit and facilitate the children in the area of Marbial. I wanted to give them the opportunity of an education right from their backyards. They usually traveled miles away to attend school and when it rains, it was impossible for them to go and sometimes it will take days before they can attend classes due to the river overflow. In October 2007, my wife and I took our first trip on a mission to make a change. We started with 1 classroom in the old house that I grow up in and every year we added 1 more class. We now have 9 classes and added 4 new buildings to accommodate the children. We have 15 employees and 212 students. The classes range from Kindergarten 1-3 and Fondamental 1-6. We have a record of 100% of our graduates every year. Therea are no jobs for the people leaving in the community, parents are not able to afford to pay for tuition, school supplies, uniforms and more for their children therefore we are in need for financial help. Nearly every water source in Haiti, (rivers, streams, springs and wells) is contaminated by human waste. There are no public sewage treatment or disposal systems anywhere in the country, even in the large cities. The lack of clean drinking water contributes to the highest infant and child mortality rate in the western hemisphere. In fact, the leading killer of children is water borne disease – hepatitis, typhoid and diarrhea – all carried in water used for drinking, cooking and washing. We can change this by donating water filters ($60 per filter) to the families. So far, we have distributed over 300 water filters to the community. Our goa is to supply the population we serve with potable water by distributing water filtering systems and/or build wells. We sponsored financially an orphanage directed by the Little Sisters of St Therese of Jesus Child. We donate clothes, shoes, toiletries etc. Our goal is to improve the living conditions of the children at the orphanage with beds, dressers, linens and properly maintain their home.
