The organization was founded by architect Nicholas Chim, who was inspired to start working in Haiti after seeing the devastation caused by the earthquake. Chim, who is originally from Haiti, believes that architecture can play a vital role in rebuilding communities and improving the lives of people in developing countries.

Architecture By Moonlight's approach to architecture is based on the principles of sustainability and community involvement. The organization works with local communities to design and build structures that are both environmentally friendly and culturally appropriate. They also provide training and employment opportunities for local people, so that they can develop the skills needed to rebuild and maintain their own communities.

One of Architecture By Moonlight's most successful projects is the construction of a new school in the village of Cazale. The school, which was built using sustainable materials and design techniques, provides a safe and stimulating learning environment for over 500 students. The school also includes a community center, which provides a space for local people to meet and socialize.

Another important project for Architecture By Moonlight is the construction of a new hospital in the city of Port-au-Prince. The hospital, which is expected to be completed in 2023, will provide much-needed medical care for the people of Haiti. The hospital will also include a training center, so that Haitian doctors and nurses can receive the training they need to provide quality care.

Architecture By Moonlight's work in Haiti has made a significant difference in the lives of many people. The organization's sustainable architecture and design solutions have helped to rebuild communities, improve the lives of people, and provide training and employment opportunities for local people.

Architecture By Moonlight is a shining example of how architecture can be used to make a positive impact on the world. The organization's work in Haiti is an inspiration to us all, and shows us that even in the most difficult of circumstances, it is possible to make a difference.
