Haiti the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere

Eighty percent of the people are farmers, struggling to extract a bare existence from the steep eroded hillside and mountain slopes.  

Almost half of the people in Haiti are illiterate. Most do not have cash income for daily needs, There is no healthcare.

Three out of four children are malnourished Seven out of ten children will die before reaching the age of five.

Families are trapped in a cycle of poverty, sickness, illiteracy and political strife.

Responding almost single handedly to a flyer,

Bonnie Rawson began working immediately to gather medical supplies and try to recruit those who could provide the sorely needed services which was almost non-existent in the places she was planning to go.

Using her own money she departed for Port Au Prince on Nov 24 2005 to meet and work with Vragne Liberus a Haitian pastor who was trying helping his impoverished people.  With only a 70 pound suitcase of basic medical supplies and a vision to make a difference, she departed to discover she was unprepared to meet the needs of hundreds of people.

The necessity of a clinic was determined… 

…and finished in 2008.

A passion to make a difference.....

to make health care available for the impoverished and underprivileged

.......to erase malnutrition.

.....and ease the discomforts of poverty is the motivation.
