Mission

Through the provision of quality cost-effective medical care and humanitarian assistance, the Lamp for Haiti works with and for the people of Haiti to improve the lives of some of the most marginalized persons in Haitian society. Lamp for Haiti is non-profit, non-sectarian and apolitical. Lamp for Haiti envisions a time when the communities we serve will meet their basic health and humanitarian needs on a self- sustaining basis. To that end, the Lamp for Haiti develops and empowers local professional and nonprofessional staff to carry out its mission, aligns its activities with the needs and interests of the local community, and cooperates in mutually beneficial and sustainable ways with Haiti's broader network of health organizations

About

The Lamp's health center in Cite Soleil received approximately 14,000 patient visits. Each of these persons received a doctor consultation, lab testing, and medicine, free of charge. These patients are among the most disadvantaged on the globe. The Lamp also provided a nutrition program for severely malnourished children, a women's clinic, cardiology services, school sponsorship for local children, mobile clinics to other disadvantaged areas, and public health education programming. All expenses in Haiti were directed to the efforts of this health center, including medicines, lab supplies and operational costs, such as vehicle maintenance and salaries for twelve Haitian staff. Haitian staff include two full time doctors and four nurses.
