A new year is starting soon, and KPP looks fondly over a year gone, a time that was full of challenges and that tested our resolve to help improve lives in the commune of Port-a-Piment.

In the area of Education:

• KPP expanded its Sponsorship Program to also help 10 young men and women acquire vocational skills. 30 promising youngsters continue on the program for their primary education.
• The 2023 KPP Summer Camp for 80 children was planned and executed by the local KPP members.
• Additional books were acquired for the KPP Children Library. It is now open to the students of the EFACAP during school days and to children of the town on weekends.
• The KPP Prix d’Excellence and a University Scholarship were awarded to deserving students.

KPP gave financial support to local projects that enrich the lives of the youth of the commune such as:

• The Inter-school Soccer Championship
• The Reading Contest at the EFACAP school
• The opening of the Jean Marc N’Deurbelaou Room at the school of Notre -Dame du Rosaire, for audio visual education.

In 2023, KPP also continued with:

• Its Dairy Cow Project
• The Animal Breeding Project
• The channeling of donated medical supplies to nearby communities.

The Board of Konbit Pou Potapiman thanks you so much for your support.

We wish for a Better Year for our homeland; a Healthy Peaceful Year for you and your families!

The earthquake of August 14th had not only provoked numerous loss of human lives, the destruction of various homes and schools, but had also caused the death of many animals from the livestock of Port-a-Piment. For that reason, KPP had decided to bring back the Animal Breeding Project to the villagers of the commune once more.

The distribution started on November 28, 2021 in the villages of Potus and Fripo, where 17 goats and 3 sheep went directly to the beneficiaries present. The “Receive and Give” system was outlined as follows: each recipient must give an animal to a new beneficiary in due time and this process will continue from one village to another until every family receives a goat.

Likewise on December 5, 2021, a distribution of goats to the villagers of Kamase in the section of Paricot in Port-a-Piment was held. This time, 20 residents became beneficiaries of the KPP Animal Breeding Project. They understood that the agreement was as follows:

1) To give a female goat to a beneficiary in due time.

2) They must care for the goat and ensure that the environment is protected.

3) The goat will be seen by the veterinary.

4) The animal will be available for inspection by the Project Coordinator.

All the recipients were very happy and thankful to KPP, the donors and all the KPP staff members at Port-a-Piment who are directly involved in the rebuilding of the town at many levels.
