Healthcare is a central part of Hope for Haiti’s holistic approach to poverty alleviation. By providing wound care, chronic illness management, health education, and preventative screenings, our Healthcare team empowers children, parents, and grandparents to lead healthier lives without having to choose between buying medicine and food.

Public Health Education and Nutrition
Hope for Haiti collaborates with Community Health Workers who administer health lessons for our more than 7,000 students in partner schools, as well as adults in these communities, to help control and prevent the spread of sickness and diseases. Our Nutrition team also works with parents whose children are at risk of being malnourished to help them reach developmental goals.
Support Our Healthcare Program
Disease Prevention & Awareness
At both our Infirmary St. Etienne and mobile clinics, our healthcare professionals provide screenings for breast and cervical cancer, leading to more successful outcomes than a late-stage diagnosis and enabling women to be proactive about their health. Through screenings like these and our health education initiatives, our team works to empower residents of the Sud Department to be safer and healthier.
