One such group is the Haitian Federation of Athletics who, in partnership with the Haiti Aquatic Federation (FHSAS), are working towards building 100 small anti-seismic houses. Each house costs approximately $8,500 to build.<\/p>\n<p>The Federation, a member of FINA\/UANA\/CCCAN since 2015, created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/haiti-aquatic-rebuilding-fund\" target=\"_blank\">Go Fund Me<\/a> page on November 3, 2016 and have since raised $525 of a $50,000 goal.<\/p>\n<p>Drowning is the leading cause of death in Haiti with less than 1% of the population knowing how to swim. The FHSAS has since made it their mission to save lives and promote the sport of swimming. With several coaches and athletes among those who have lost their homes to Hurricane Matthew, the Federation has added the mission of providing stable homes for as many family as they can.<\/p>\n<p>FHSAS\u00a0has issued a call to swimmers near and far to donate and make an impact on the lives of the Haitian community.<\/p>\n<p><em>To donate visit the Go Fund Me page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/haiti-aquatic-rebuilding-fund\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been approximately one month since Hurricane Matthew struck the coast of Haiti and left many homeless, injured, and in dire need of assistance.
