Our work as of Summer 2024:
- HHF’s main clinic and the Center of Hope in Jeremie continue to function at full capacity,
with a patient load that increases daily – 28% over a year ago. - HHF’s clinics in Dayere, Moron, Castillon, Bigarade, and Fond Bayard continue to function
at full capacity, often overwhelmed with patients. - We continue our mobile clinics, where we bring medical staff, medicine, and supplies to the
rural mountains to treat those living in hard-to-reach areas. - Last year, donors paid school expenses for more than 3,500 children in 82 local schools.
- Our nutrition program continues, although we are experiencing more challenges finding the
items than ever before. However, we continue to seek out and identify new vendors and
transportation options. Last month, we successfully delivered 8,000 food kits as well as
10,000 hygiene kits, able to purify necessary drinking water. - HHF will soon be distributing 10,000 Moringa seedlings, as well as hundreds of coconut
trees, as a part of our sustainable agriculture practices. - We continue our house and toilet construction work.
- We continue to look for breeding goats to purchase and distribute to local families.
- Our Mental Health Department continues to see more and more patients having experienced
horrific trauma, and our support groups for children for the purpose of addressing trauma
and building resilience are continuing.Our reports indicate:
- Gangs have over 80% control of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s Capital city.
- Haiti has been classified as having “famine or risk of famine hotspots,” requiring urgent attention (The World Food Programme).
- Thousands have been fleeing the violence of Port au Prince, and this number continues to increase. Between March and June 2024, the number of displaced people increased by 60 percent, from 362,000 to more than 578,000 (International Organization for Migration).
- Haiti’s healthcare system has all but collapsed amid the latest vicious gang uprising, leaving nearly all victims of the violence without any form of medical attention.
Thank you for your continued compassion and generosity to our work.
