In Haiti, what few health care services are available are also unaffordable for most families. Hope for Haiti's Childen is providing basic medical care for our sponsored children. We believe a healthy student is a more successful student!
At our largest school in Cite Soleil, we have a nutrition program in place which provides each child a hot meal at lunch each day. Our doctors and nurses have seen a marked improvement in their health and attribute it to our food program. It is our goal to establish a food program in each of our schools.
What health services are offered through HFHC?
There is a medical clinic in Port-au-Prince available to all our sponsored children. Part of your sponsorship pledge helps provide for the clinic and its services.
Each year HFHC sends a medical team to Haiti to conduct a health clinic for all our sponsored children. Medicines and supplies are dispensed to each child in need; often their parents and siblings are also treated.
Throughout the school year, the children receive vitamins and supplements and occasional food staples for their families.
How can I help with medical needs in Haiti?
Through sponsorship you are helping to lift a child out of poverty and give them the hope of a healthier, better life.
By donating, you help us to provide much needed services like these to the children.
