In Haiti, our team is on the ground helping with medical education and community support, emergency medicines and nutrition. Our team consists of doctors, nurses, administrators, maintenance workers and local advisors.

Many of the people in this region lack access to food, education, medical care and clean water. The children are especially hard-hit by these circumstances and need our help.
