So many organizations are pulling out of Haiti now because of the instability, but there is no one to fill the gap. The government will not do it. The international aid community is scrambling, but many of these organizations are big bureaucratic machines and their aid will take time. This is where groups like Healing Art Missions come in. We are small and nimble enough to adapt programming to help a targeted community. So, we are adapting!
Charles Solomon School
Although the start of the school year in Haiti has been delayed due to the nationwide lockdown and safety concerns, the Charles Solomon Primary School is ready for the school year. This past summer, there was some damage to the foundation of the pre-K building due to a heavy storm, which will need to be addressed in the coming year. We have received a generous donation from the South Sacramento Rotary Club so we can begin these repairs. .
Demier Clean Water and Health Program
This program continues to provide clean water to hundreds of people in the rural mountainous community of Demier. The program also continues to provide basic first aid and public health. This year, HAM invested in a new horse to help transport supplies to the community.
