The Organization's Infirmary St. Etienne provided 110,750 consultations including mobile clinics run by HFH staff and referred 517 patients for specialized medical care, most of which was in response to the Earthquake.
Haiti Ops: The objective of our Haiti Ops Program is to cover expenses which allow the organization's Haiti locations to run efficiently by providing a safe place of business, hiring and maintaining the appropriate administrative staff to oversee operations, and providing the tools needed to support the organization's completion of duties in Haiti.
Emergency Relief: The objective of our Emergency Relief Program is to provide relief in response to the 2021 earthquake that struck the southern region of Haiti. From 2021-2022, the organization distributed over 300,000 pounds of food to over 3,000 vulnerable families in our partner schools and other vulnerable families in the Sud department, as well as hot cooked meals to orphanages and staff immediately after the earthquake. The organization provided 68 grants to healthcare facilities and SGB's and 7,437 in Cash Voucher Assistance (CVA) transfers. Total granted funding was over $794,000. The organization also prepared and distributed over 1,200 emergency buckets as additional emergency response activities in response to the 2021 earthquake.
Education: The objective of our Education Program is to improve the access and quality of education in southern Haiti by investing in and partnering with key education partners and institutions. From 2021-2022, the organization provided direct cash transfers to subsidize salaries of 345 primary and secondary teachers at 21 partner schools in three departments across the Greater South of Haiti, facilitated 24 hours of professional development and training, and one-hour of in-class observation and coaching to 203 primary teachers, helped 6,764 students (3,345 boys and 3,319 girls) through back-to-school campaigns, provided 7,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in our partner schools and staff's children, and constructed 5 classroom blocks (15 classrooms) and repaired 7 classroom blocks (22 classrooms).
Economy: The objective of our Economy Program is to increase the organization's economy portfolio, with a focus on education, access to loans and grants, and job training in communities in southern Haiti. From 2021-2022, the Organization generated $2,155 from loan repayments to be reinvested into the local economy as future grants and loans.
WASH: The objective of our WASH Program is to improve clean water access for people living in southern Haiti, especially children. From 2021-2022, in collaboration with local community-based organizations, over 28,000 water filtration systems were distributed, many in response to the 2021 earthquake. Each system is able to filter up to 1 million gallons of water over the next 10 years. Collectively, the systems provide a minimum of 24,510 gallons of clean water filtered daily. We also constructed 3 new sanitation blocks and 3 wells at partner schools.
