Overcoming Healthcare Disparities In our Rural Communities
We found this kid while looking for the neediest families to include into The Faustin Project. This kid was badly burned and was in excruciating pain crying for his mother "mama, mama" his parent's weren't around. He was left with his aunt to care for him, however his aunt couldn't afford to take him to the hospital. The only thing she could do is apply white powder on the burns, with no pain killers or antibiotics this kid wouldn't have made it. I cried witnessing this. We are so happy that we found this kid. We took him to the hospital and after 2 months in intensive care, he made a full recovery!
A strong, healed and healthy boy!
At just 6 months old, this little girl was abandoned and left with her grandmother. The grandmother is an elder woman and is unable to care for her. The little girl became extremely ill, fortunately we were visiting our kids for Christmas, we found her. We brought her to the hospital and kept her there until she was better. We paid her medical expenses and now she’s in our care along with her grandmother.
Rural Healthcare disperities
Over 60 percent of Haitians living in rural communities lack access to basic health-care services. Preventable diseases like, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, diarrhea, respiratory infections, malaria, tuberculosis are the leading causes of death when it comes to healthcare in Haiti. Together, we can change this. Join us in our efforts to help families overcome health-care disparities in Mare-Rouge, Haiti.
