Goals for the April 14, 2012 CT Walks For Haiti
Haitian Health Foundation
Haitian Health Foundation seeks funding for women in high-risk pregnancies at the HHF Center of Hope. HHF has reduced the area’s maternal morbidity rate by offering residential care during critical periods of a woman’s pregnancy period. Many of these women come from villages that are 18 hours of more from hospital care and would be at serious risk of dying from complications during their pregnancies. HHF seeks $4000 to sponsor 8 women in high-risk pregnancies.
Haitian Humanitarian Network
We are in the process of building a second general-purpose building to house visiting medial personnel and to run health education sessions. We would like to include another cistern to catch water off the roof of the new building. This water would be used as a source of water for the villagers. We would require $5000 to build the cistern and have a means to distribute the water. Villagers walk 3 miles round trip down the mountainside to get water at a spring in Carpentier. We currently pass out buckets (covered & with a spigot) to make water safer to use during the course of the day. These buckets would be filled at the cistern when it is operational.
Medical Aid to Haiti
MATH seeks $7600 to fund a nurse’s salary (5 days a week) and medications for a new permanent clinic, located in Lillivois. The clinic is connected to a school that has about 500 students./p>
Outreach to Haiti
Outreach to Haiti seeks $4000 to give a university scholarship to two students in our Education Program who have successfully completed their secondary grade courses and passed all national tests. Since our Education Program admits students based on need and merit, these students would not be able to attend university without full time tuition support. The cost runs from about $2000 to $3500 a year per student.
Partners In Health
Partners In Health seeks $3500 to help fund PIH’s adolescent and adult literacy program in Haiti’s Central Plateau. The program furnishes basic supplies and equipment such as desks and books to Haitian literacy centers and supplies modest salary stipends to the literacy instructors and other program supervisors to enable them to perform their jobs ands make a living.
