Konbit Okap - Phase 3

Led by Blandine Joyeux

Konbit Okap is a community restoration initiative led by MACHE Community Inc. in support of Voices From Home Haiti. Konbit Okap is powered by the spirit of Konbit—neighbors coming together to build a stronger community. Every contribution helps preserve the progress already made and creates a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Cap-Haïtien for future generations. KONBIT OKAP – PHASE 3 After successfully cleaning, restoring, and beautifying the boulevard through Phases 1 and 2, MACHE is launching Phase 3 of Konbit Okap—a critical step focused on protecting the work already completed and ensuring long-term sustainability. This phase includes the construction of protective barriers around five canal openings, built with cinder blocks and secured with access doors to prevent trash accumulation while allowing maintenance crews to safely access the canals when needed. By addressing the source of recurring waste buildup, these improvements will help keep the boulevard cleaner, improve water flow, and reduce future cleanup costs. In addition to canal protection infrastructure, Phase 3 will fund: Two weeks of boulevard maintenance Community workforce wages Miscellaneous project expenses and materials Construction of five canal protection structures Fundraising Supports Wages for 2 Weeks Miscellaneous Project Expenses Construction of 5 Canal Protection Structures Ongoing Boulevard Maintenance
