Here is a little about the agencies we are supporting. Please see their websites for more information:
PARTNERS IN HEALTH
PIH has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years. We urgently need your support to help those affected by the recent earthquake.
Partners In Health (PIH) works to bring modern medical care to poor communities in nine countries around the world. The work of PIH has three goals: to care for our patients, to alleviate the root causes of disease in their communities, and to share lessons learned around the world.
Based in Boston, PIH employs more than 11,000 people worldwide, including doctors, nurses and community health workers. The vast majority of PIH staff are local nationals based in the communities we serve.
FAMILY HEALTH MINISTRIES
FHM’s primary mission is to support international communities in their efforts to build and sustain healthy families.
Our hope is that by building healthy families, we build healthy communities which in turn build a better tomorrow.
We pursue this dream by developing long-term relationships with people & communities
’in need’. Of course, true relationships do not develop until we take the time to listen and learn. Once we become friends who trust and care about one another, we gain insights into each other’s needs, hopes and desires.
Our work is directed by the goals of each community and implemented by the local people who are motivated to see their own lives improve. Often the most important thing that we give each other is honor and respect.
This strategy has given us insights into the meaning of God’s greatest commandment
(Matthew 22: 37-39) and our daily lives become enriched in ways that we never dreamed possible.
Paradoxically, we have learned that when we love our neighbors as ourselves…
even when our plans don’t work out…
that God’s plan ensures that our relationships grow in confidence and trust…
and then real progress begins. Haiti
