Since November, Haitians have been enduring increasibly violent civil unrest across the entire country. While Borgne is quiet, the community is almost completely isolated from the rest of the country. However, a humanitarian corridor has remained for emergencies and has allowed hospital staff to return home to their families, briefly, as well as return to work to assist with the growing need in the community.
We think it's important that you know that your support during Giving Tuesday and beyond has allowed ASB Hospital to remain a stable hub for residents in the commune of Borgne. As of right now, we have the only functioning health center in our region, which makes ASB Hospital an incredibly important resource during this growing humanitarian crisis as well.
We will continue to monitor the needs on the ground, and while things are settling down, we expect a long and painful period as we rebuild during shortages of medicine and medical supplies and spiraling inflation. But please know that your support has helped ASB Hopsital to maintain positive forward motion going into this crisis.
Our staff in Borgne continue to amaze us everyday with their strength and clever workarounds during this challenging time. They are all so grateful for your kindness, and for believing in their work. We would not have been in as good of shape as we are at this point without it, and we cannot say thank you enough.
We look forward to sharing more with you as the dust settles.
