AMURTEL Haiti is the Haitian branch of Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team Ladies or AMURTEL. This centre is working for more than 2 decades partnering with local people to provide a children’s home, schools, clinics, literacy programs, reforestation initiatives, micro credit finance, and women’s leadership programs.[1]
Projects
AMURTEL Haiti are working in the following projects—
Children's Home
AMURTEL Haiti runs a children's home that provides shelter to many children. Many children who are neglected or abandoned by their parents live in this centre. Here they find a homely and supportive atmosphere.[1]
AMSAI Schools
AMURTEL Haiti runs two schools in Haiti; one in Port Au Prince, the other in Anse a Pitre. These schools are known as AMSAI schools. These AMSAI schools use Neohumanism based education philosophy.
Microfinance
In 2010, following the earthquake in Haiti, AMURTEL was informed by women in the refugee camps that they were eager to start small businesses in order to get back their own self-dependence. After some planning, AMURTEL Haiti decided to help these women and started a microfinance project for them.
Disaster Relief Programs
AMURTEL Haiti runs a powerful and effective disaster relief and management program. Initially AMURTEL began working with four local Haitian women trained as community organizers. These four animators were so inspired by their work with AMURTEL that they helped to create a micro finance program to create economic opportunities for the women in the camps.
