Our Programs in Haiti
A new three year project to assist ten of Haiti’s poorest communities has just been introduced by Help the Aged. We will install ten water reservoirs and two wells, repair and renovate existing long-term care facilities for destitute seniors in six communities (latrines, kitchens, showers, mosquito screening) and hire local nurses and physiotherapy technicians to treat the elderly poor in all ten communities. In Dessalines, we will be working with the Free Methodist Church to complete cataract surgeries and introduce a dental care program to seniors living in poverty. Income generating activities such as fruit tree planting, agriculture and animal husbandry will be organized so that these programs become sustainable. All of this will be coordinated and monitored by our Canadian volunteers, most of whom have travelled to Haiti in order to assist us with previous projects. Learn more about our work in Haiti: |
