DONATE TO HPSP
Since the term of the new millennium, repeated natural disasters have left many towns and villages in Haiti with severe damages. Storms, floods, and mudslides have contaminated water, destroyed food crops, and caused diseases among thousands of survivors and especially children. To the present date, Haiti is still in the process of recovering and rebuilding.
Please make yourself a part of the recovery process by donating your money, time, and/or equipment. You can also sponsor a child, a student, or a specific project in order to help.

The situation in Haiti is grim. According to UNICEF, as of the period 2000-2004, there is 80% unemployment, 75% of the population live in abject poverty, and the per capita annual income is approximately $300 a year. This is the lowest in the Western Hemisphere. Conclusively, just a quarter of Haiti’s children enroll in school and less than half reach the fifth grade.

According to Dr. Paul Farmer who is a well known Harvard educated health advocate and author, “Vaccination programs have faltered and both patients, who cannot pay for treatment, and personnel, who are not receiving wages, have abandoned clinics and hospitals.” In 20 years of working in Haiti the physician says he has never seen the situation so critical.
“In essence, the public health system has collapsed. Many areas are without a single doctor or nurse and facilities that have remained open are providing medication and care at costs far beyond the reach of most of the population. Tuberculosis and malaria are major causes of death, HIV/AIDS is on the rise, polio has resurfaced, and there have been documented outbreaks of anthrax, meningo-coccus, and drug-resistant tuberculosis,” according to Dr. Farmer.
