After 2 challenging years, it's time to celebrate the silver lining!
The last 2 years have been challenging for all of us, but Haiti has been hit especially hard by medical, political, and natural disasters. The silver lining to these difficult times? HUFH's team on the ground has grown stronger than ever, delivering care to the poorest of the poor, saving lives and building a better and healthier future for the people of Haiti.
At HUFH, saving lives never takes a day off. Despite the chaotic conditions on the ground in Haiti, our lifesaving health care programs continue without interruption: our team on the ground stops at nothing to protect the health of others.
In the words of one of our employees:
"Sickness doesn't know strikes and insecurity. The poorest children and their families are always looking for help, so we need to be there to help."
GOAL OF THE EVENT:
To raise awareness and enough funds to treat 1000 malnourished children, ensure safer births, prevent premature death, deliver basic health care, and educate families to promote better health; enough to ensure that our work continues despite challenges that would defeat other organizations.
