CAN YOU HELP THE ORPHANS IN HAITI? I currently assist an orphanage in Port au Prince, Haiti, called St Joseph's Creche. There are 13 children living at the orphanage, from 8 months old to 8 years old. The orphanage does not get any government assistance and has no way to generate an income. They are in desperate need for money to buy essentials like food, nappies and soap.

BUILDING THEIR BATHROOM     

For the childrens safety they desperately need a bathroom built upstairs in the orphanage near to where they sleep (it is currently in a different building). My aim is to therefore complete the Gran Fondo Marco Pantani to raise funds for this cause. All donations will go directly to this project, and I will keep you informed of our targeted progress along the way.

Any donation is incredibly important to us so your generosity in thinking and helping these children is greatly appreciated.
