Crisis Management: Focus on what we do well

By Miriam Tuchman | President

SHH functions exclusively on donations. While we are in the process of applying for some new grants, since we are still a relatively young organization, we have not secured any to date.  And while the world grapples with an unprecedented virus, it has become harder and harder to develop a fundraising strategy for this year.  Therefore, we decided that what we need to do this year was to focus on what we know we do well: We are providing primary healthcare and health education to the children of Fondation Montesinos. We can do this with our very modest fundraising efforts through our partner sites like GlobalGiving. Our plans for the health education center, the outdoor courtyard and shower, the fully managed agricultural education center, sustainable and environmentally conscious supplies, and specialist clinics are only delayed and are, most definitely, not cancelled. 

We have always maintained minimal yearly operational costs ($14,500 for primary healthcare, licensing fees, insurance and accounting services) for the very reason that we are dedicated to being a sustainable healthcare delivery program. In times of crisis, we need to focus on what we do best.

Currently our children are being seen by Dr. Vlad at ALOM medical center for a full medical, dental and psychological evaluation. ALOM is developing long term plans for each child and our on-site nurse at the Sho-Ping Chin Clinic for Healthcare and Education conducts all of the follow up along with a licensed psychologist. GI parasites, UTI, and mild anemia are the most common ailments. Children with more severe needs are brought to area hospitals where we have agreements for their care.

Meanwhile, we are working closely with Food For The Poor and our partners in Indiana, to design new dormitories for the girls who had to be relocated to temporary structures as their existing buildings were deemed unsafe. Fundraising for the new dorms will be a goal for 2021. 

Our Hens for Haiti grant continues to help support our agricultural project as a sustainable way to educate, provide life skills, and feed the children. 

We would like to end this report with a happy announcement: Those of you who have travelled with us to Haiti for clinics or other work, will recognize the name Stephane. He, his brother and his company Alphonse Brothers Transportation and Translation Services are our eyes, ears, and hearts in Haiti. Stephane will be getting married in December! Please join us in wishing him and his wife-to-be well.
