Help De-worm and Nourish Haiti's Children

Reports from the field..

...Here is one additional picture that you might like to see (picture 1). Brisley came to us in July 2014 with a rock hard very large abdomen. We sent him immediately to Hopital Bernard Mevs. He had a bowel obstruction with dead bowel due to worm infestation. About 80% of kids with this condition die in Haiti, but by the grace of God he is alive and doing well! ...Anonymous

Dear International Action,

We were very pleased last April to get the Albendazole pills from your organization. We have been distributing them at our clinic in Northern Haiti. When the government Health Agent for our area visited our clinic in late March, he was able to distribute to them to the children and mothers who came for their immunizations. He treated 75 pregnant mothers and children. We have a monthly immunization clinic where we check the children and pregnant women and give them vitamin A, shots and family planning information. We give them worm pills when we have them, too if they need them. 
 
We have facilitated  getting 6 wells drilled in this area.  However, there needs to be much education about sanitation. We encounter so many children with ascaris, tape worms, and hook worms.  These pills are so necessary to help keep the people in our area healthy. We really appreciated your help in assisting us to get them. As we work together, we can save lives

Dear International Action

See below for a couple pictures from our Spring 2015 trip.  Our clinic was housed in a new facility that was recently built and you can see the triage and pharmacy operations in the first picture.  Our process for administering albendazole follows a protocol that ensures that patient within the applicable age range automatically receive albendazole and Vitamin A treatment.  These medications are administered onsite, typically in the triage section of the clinic.  During this trip, we treated 222 individuals with albendazole and vitamin A. 

The second picture represents the gratitude of the residents of Timo for the services we provide and the generous donations we receive.

Thanks, 

Anon

...In the attached photo (picture 4), you might be interested to know that the second child, Evelore, actually coughed up a 3” white worm in our clinic! Your contribution is making a high difference for the children in Haiti!  ...Anonymous
