ODW + HEARTLINE HAITI

Project #327 | Compassionate Maternal & Infant Healthcare in Haiti

Our Partnership with Heartline Haiti 

In Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the world, quality healthcare is practically nonexistent. For women giving birth, the risks are high: Haitian women face a 1 in 94 chance of dying from complications during pregnancy or childbirth – compare that to 1 in 2,700 in the United States. Recent sociopolitical turmoil has only made it more difficult for mothers to receive the care that they need, especially in urban hubs like Port-au-Prince.

One Day’s Wages is partnering with Heartline Haiti for a second year to support high-quality medical care and health education in Port-au-Prince. At the Heartline Maternity Center, women receive weekly prenatal check-ups, delivery care, postpartum and early childhood development classes, coaching on nutrition and breastfeeding, homemade meals and a vitamin regimen. The Center recently welcomed its 1,500th baby, and is on target to welcome well over 100 more healthy babies this year!

Project Goals:

WOMEN WILL RECEIVE PRE- AND POST-NATAL MEDICAL CARE

NEWBORNS WILL BE SAFELY DELIVERED DURING THE YEAR

COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL ATTEND WEEKLY CLINICS

Thank you for making this possible!

Our movement is grassroots. The projects we support are led by local leaders, and all the funds we raise are through ordinary donors who give a day of their wages to support those experiencing extreme poverty. Will you consider giving $25, $100 or $250 to make our partnerships possible?
