Our Programs
Health Clinic
The Health Clinic was started by one of the candidates in the area over ten years ago. However, since he did not win the election it never got finished. It stayed there unfinished without anyone touching and this community does not have any other Health Clinic in the area. This community is in dire need of everything and we made a decision to help them by finishing the Health Clinic.
The Kasek of Marbirol and the community of Mabriol begged Hands Together Against Poverty to finish the clinic for them. They hoped by finishing the clinic they would be able to provide some services to the community even if its once a month if they were able to provide a Doctor.
We are here today for the first fundraising for Hands Together Against Poverty to ask for your help to provide basic health services to this community by finishing this clinic for them.
Our main objectives for this clinic is to
​
•Provide vaccinations for children and
•Build a program for malnutrition children.
•Provide women with an OB-GYN
•Provide birth control and contraceptives
•Provide prenatal drugs for pregnant women
•Provide prostate screenings for men
The School
These children need a school that is protected from the environment. They usually go to school that is under a tent and has no type of roof to protect them from the rain and the area that they are in, rains a lot. They only have benches under the tent and no desks for the children to write on. So we plan on building a school that is indoors that will protect them from the rain and provide them with supplies to help them succeed in school.
​
Some of these children are 11 or 12 years old and they have never attended school a day in their lives. Which means they do not know how to read or write or any vocational skills. We want to provide these children with a curriculum that is formed for their needs where they can learn these skills. Every child deserves the right to go to school and have a chance to make a better life for themselves and we all know the key to this is an education. So please help us by donating to the school program so we can provide these children with a proper education. Currently we have already built a one room school for the small children because we do not have enough room for the older children. In the future we plan to have an entire school inside of a building with many floors and rooms.

Building Homes
We started this program because of the conditions we saw these families were living in. These people are human beings and they deserve more than what they have. These families have build their own homes from whatever resources they can find lying around and families as large as 5 can live in these homes. All they need is a covering to protect them from the weather so they made due with what they have. This is the number one reason so many people died from the earthquake back in 2010. These homes are all over Haiti and they are in no condition to survive an earthquake. When we first saw these homes we could not believe someone was actually living there and then we find out its not just someone but an entire family. When we saw these families in these homes we made a decision to build them a home that they have a right to. We have the means to make a huge difference in their lives that is long lasting and we need your help.
Empowering Women and Sponsor a Child
This organization began in August of 2017, when I visited Marbiole. Ms. Lawrence Aaron from Kings County Emergency Room trusted me with $400 that she had collected for the people in Haiti. Ms. Noel also in our Emergency Room had given Ms. Lawrence money as someone she knew she could trust with the money. When I was given the money I promised myself that I would do something beneficial with it. When I reached Haiti I divided the money between 4 women so that they could start their own businesses. The women in the community saw those women as people they should aspire to be. As the year progressed I collected more money from family and friends to put 8 more women in this program. By supporting and encouraging women, were supporting their entire family.
