PRESS RELEASE 7.13.23

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEDA seeks to deploy our heavy equipment (bulldozer, bus, crane, excavator, flatbed truck, generators - 10kw - 60kw - 400kw, tractor-trailer...) and personnel assets (paid and volunteer teams) for emergency relief and infrastructure projects that benefit our 4 million Grand South territory constituents.

SEDA Grand South Design 2030 outlines humanitarian initiatives that are urgently needed after the recent flood devastation. Public Service Modules of Help-Haiti Masterplan @89 describes the Community Center @89, Petit-Goave, literally surrounded by damaged properties and public works.

SEDA can clear trash and debris from roads and public spaces, provide weekly trash & recyclables collection to property owners, send food trucks and field clinics into neighborhoods, distribute clothes and necessities from our thrift shop. Our large outdoor oven can bake hundreds of patties, our kitchen can prepare hundreds of meals, our clinic can care for dozens of people. But this requires money.

SEDA is requesting low-interest loans, grants and donations from the international community, our Sister Cities in South Florida, business partners and nonprofits. Today we launch a 7-goal fundraising campaign in hopes of alleviating this widespread distress and dysfunction. Please help us help Haiti!
