Haiti Communitere: Accommodation for Medically Fragile Children

2022 Community Micro-Grant Winner
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Haiti Communitere, Janet Ilott

Accommodation for medically fragile children in Port-au-Prince will enable Haiti Communitere to further facilitate healthcare for medically fragile children who need to travel to Port-au-Prince for medical attention with their parents. The country’s limited medical resources are concentrated in the capital, and Haiti Communitere often receives large groups of parents with children. The project will create an emergency fund that will enable 120 free “parent nights” and purchase $300 worth of emergency food for families who are enduring massive increases in the cost of food.
