In Haiti, HRI is partnering with Vitamin Angels on several lifesaving initiatives; one of which is providing this simple deworming treatment! At no cost to us, HRI has received 200,000 deworming tablets (Albendazole 400) and Vitamin A that will reach children over the next 6 months.
HRI visited an informal internally displaced persons camp located in downtown Port-au-Prince, Haiti. When we arrived to assess the situation, we discovered the deplorable living conditions of up to 3,000 displaced persons - mostly women, children, and the elderly.
I would like to share with you a bit of insight into the daily challenges of our work and our teams in the field. I do hope you'll take a few minutes and pray with us for safety, wisdom and provision.
Dominique found Farel and 6 of her 7 children living on the streets of Les Cayes. She had been unable to pay the yearly rent of $300 for a tiny room they all shared, so the owner evicted them. Now, this 43 year old mother of 7, two of whom are twins under the age of two, are sleeping on the street.
