Empowerment Through Health

Hospitals are rare in Haiti. When I lived in Haiti, I recall hearing some noise in front of my house very early one morning. The noise grew louder so I decided to go outside and check it out. It was market day and a young woman on her way to sell her merchandise was having her baby all alone. I helped her through labor and delivery. We had the baby together. I gave her a set of clothes and invited her to stay with me. She would not stay for she had to go home with money in hand to her family who counted on her to sell her meager produce. She wrapped her baby girl in the blanket close to her chest. With her basket on her head, she made her way back home with good strength. Now there are others who are not that fortunate. Another woman gave birth to triplets while at the market place selling her goods to support her family. That’s what women do. Unlike the previous woman, she did not make it back home. Her children were adopted since no one knew of her nor her family.

New Earth Christians Ministries partners with other non-profit organizations and good faith clinics to travel to Haiti and bring eye care, dental care and primary health care to those in need.

Once Haiti bounces back, we will be organizing groups to return there and would like for you to join us. Meanwhile, you can support that effort as we work with local doctors to care for their communities.
