Haiti Continues to Struggle in Providing Care!
By Adam G See | Executive Director
In spite of the many struggles to move donations through customs, VIDA remains fully committed to this impoverished country that has now receded into the background after the tragic earthquake and the most recent hurricane Matthew. The problems and struggles remain overwhelming.
VIDA is continuing to send additional aid to our project in Cayes Jacmel which is still reeling from the effects of the devastating earthquake. A group of physicians led by Dr. Magloire continues to visit Haiti twice a year, bringing with them donated supplies and equipment from VIDA. Thanks to the generosity of so many, thousands of impoverished Haitians have received care. Most recently, the group carried 25 suitcases of patient care materials. The value of the materials was in excess of $25,000. These types of shipments will continue twice a year due to your support.
VIDA has also been donating supplies to a variety of doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who travel to Haiti on medical missions around the country. VIDA has found that this is a highly effective model in serving small communities outside the urban centers.
VIDA thanks the Global Giving Community for your support.

VIDA Supplies Medical Missions to Haiti
By Adam See | Executive Director
Dear Friends of Haiti,
In spite of the many struggles to move donations through customs, VIDA remains fully committed to this impoverished country that has now receded into the background after the tragic earthquake. VIDA is working with several medical missions as a means to empower teams providing direct care to people in need while expediting supplies to Haiti.
VIDA is continuing to send additional aid to our project in Cayes Jacmel which is still reeling from the effects of the devastating earthquake. A group of physicians led by Dr. Magloir continues to visit Haiti twice a year, bringing with them donated supplies and equipment from VIDA. Thanks to the generosity of so many, thousands of impoverished Haitians have received care. Most recently, the group carried 20 suitcases of expensive respiratory supplies and equipment along with patient care materials. The value of the materials was in excess of $100,000. These type of shipments will continue six times a year due to your support.
VIDA has also supplied students from Samuel Merritt Podiatry School who are travelling to Haiti for 10 days to provide free care to individuals in the capital. VIDA has outfitted them with orthopedic supplies and basic medical supplies valued at $50,000.
VIDA looks forward to expanding on this model made possible by your generous support.
