Haiti - Reconstruction : Miyamoto Haiti will build 34 schools in remote areas 30/06/2013 11:42:48 These schools will be built to international standards for safety and quality. "There should be no difference in the safety standards for American children and for Haitian children. We need to ensure that all children are completely safe in their schools," declared Dr. Kit Miyamoto, CEO of Miyamoto International. Although the process will be challenging, such as building on sites with no access roads, this project will continue to build the capacity of Haitian engineers, contractors and masons. Miyamoto Haiti will train the team on supervision, quality control, planning and construction management to keep this mission-critical project on track from the start. "Our biggest challenge in Haiti is ensuring that construction is properly done," declared Guilaine Victor, Miyamoto Haiti program manager. "Our goal isn't just to build safe schools, but to raise the quality of construction throughout Haiti." "We are committed to Haiti's development [...] That is why we are investing in and expanding our operations here. Our trained Haitian engineers, masons and contractors can execute international-standard construction," declared Dr. Miyamoto. Funding for the 19 FAES schools comes from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Haitian government, while funding for the 15 UNICEF schools comes from the Belgian Government.
