Here’s what we Do.

We support a mobile clinic run by Haitian healthcare workers providing free, high quality care for their neighbors in Cite Soleil, Haiti.

We run a healthcare worker training program to provide job training and increase access to care.

This is all possible because of you, our incredible community, who believe in not just saying, but doing.

We help young people in Cite Soleil, Haiti get the education they need to save lives.

Dedicated and talented young people in Cite Soleil, Haiti pursue their passion for healthcare to improve the lives of both themselves and their neighborhoods at large.

The gift of healthcare higher education really just keeps on giving. Not only do students get an education and a lifetime career. Our students go on to start health education campaigns and provide high-quality care for their communities.

Continuity and reliability are necessary components of high quality healthcare. We believe that deeply committed local healthcare workers providing care over a lifetime trump expatriate short term volunteers, hands down. Patients’ lives and health depend on it.

Training the next generation of healthcare leaders.

We identify promising students who dream of working in the healthcare field. Once they are admitted to medical, nursing, pharmacy, or lab tech school, we cover all of their educational costs to set them up for success. All they need to do is study hard.

Our graduates are dedicated to providing high quality healthcare for their community. They move on to lead initiatives that positively impact Cite Soleil.

Our students provide the organization with innovative ideas, community-driven programs, and more.

We can’t wait to see what they do. We know it will be incredible.

Current Students

These remarkable students are dedicated to providing care for their own communities and have track records of engaging in or starting projects that spark positive change.

Supporting them means an opportunity for employment for a young person, and also access to healthcare for the entire neighborhood.

We are so proud of each and every one of our students and honored to know them.

There are a lot of barriers to getting healthcare in Cite Soleil. This clinic eliminates all of them.

There is no financial burden, the clinic is entirely free. There is no issues with transportation, the clinic comes directly to patients. There is no problem with continuity or language barriers, because the people providing care are from the community they are serving and have a deep understanding of patient's needs. This clinic just works. And we want to make sure we can keep it running all year long.

Haitian-led, haitian run.

This mobile clinic is led and run by Haitian healthcare workers providing free, high quality, care for their neighbors in Cite Soleil, Haiti. The mobile clinic serves 300+ patients living in Cite Soleil, Haiti. Haitian healthcare workers provide free treatment and checkups, focusing on patients with diabetes and hypertension. Treating these conditions saves lives.

This mobile clinic is entirely Haitian led and run. We do not believe in sending in expatriate teams. The U.S. team works in partnership and support to help keep the clinic financially sustainable and as medical advisory.

Sporadic care is simply not good enough.

We need to ensure patients have access to high quality healthcare and can get the medication they need. Year round. Always.

Before the mobile clinic, patients were only getting a tiny supply of their daily medicine (usually less than 30 days worth) once every 4-6 months. This meant that awful complications like stroke, diabetic ulcers, neuropathy, heart attacks, you name it, occurred often.

We are more than just a clinic. We take care of our patients, their families, and the community at large.

Reliable, local, and free care means healthier patients.

Each month, patients gather in the neighborhood school, community space, or places of business, for checkups and free medication provided by the local Haitian healthcare team.

The patients are seen by the nurse and physician, and then given their medications for the month as well as a hygiene kit, and food distribution. Patient education as well as lifestyle & hand-washing counseling are also provided.

Hand-washing stations

With your help, we set up hundreds of rapid response hand-washing stations in Cite Soleil. There is a serious lack of adequate running water for the community to practice hand hygiene during this pandemic. These stations are buckets with soap and water so people can practice the recommended hand hygiene to prevent spread.

Our team has modeled our response after consulting with PIH nurses in Uganda with experience in Ebola prevention. This effort was a collaboration between folks in Haiti, Uganda, Boston, and Seattle. We live in extraordinary times, in so many ways. The hand-washing stations have been maintained by the community and we continue to restock soap supplies. Thanks to our incredible community and team, it took 2 hours to raise the funds and one day to set them all up.

Taking care of students

As is the case all around the world, nursing, technician, and medical schools are currently closed. This means are students are out of the classroom and do not have the infrastructure for distance learning.

While working on solutions and waiting to see when schools will re-open, we are providing students a salary to get them through.
