21Challenges Facing CONASPEH
- Meeting the basic needs of the people
- Cleanup and rebuilding of hundreds of churches,
schools, and other projects - The displacement of thousands of people including
CONASPEH leaders and pastors - Burying and honoring those who have died
- Providing stability and hope during a time of
chaos and despair

CONASPEH is not a building. It is a philosophy
and a group of people committed to this
philosophy. Francois Villier

providing food, water, clothing, beds, shelter,

small business owners can restart their
businesses lost during the earthquake - Provide counseling for individuals, especially
for pastors and community leaders affected by the
trauma of the earthquake

headquarters - Restart schools
- Provide educational seminars for pastors and
community leaders - Continue with micro-loans
