Project Medishare for Haiti, Inc., a 501.3 non-profit registered in the State of Florida, was founded in 1995 by Drs. Barth Green and Arthur Fournier from the University of Miami School of Medicine.

It is an organization dedicated to sharing its human and technical resources with its Haitian partners in the quest to achieve quality healthcare for all. This mission is accomplished through two distinct but complimentary programs which now frequently intersect, such as the Community Health Program and the surgical and medical care trips.

Zombie Curse: A Doctor's 25-year Journey into the Heart of the AIDS Epidemic in Haiti Fournier sends out a cry from the front lines about the overwhelming role poverty plays in the spread of AIDS. His awakening came in the early 1980s when, as a faculty physician at the University of Miami Medical School, he saw AIDS spreading through the city's Haitian population. MORE...

Help Project Medishare battle malnutrition in Haiti

A recent Associated Press article alarmed many as they read about Charlene Dumas eating mud patties in Cite Soliel, one of Haiti’s worst slums.

Project Medishare for Haiti has been working to combat childhood malnutrition and related diseases in Haiti, still the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, for 14 years. Haiti has long battled malnutrition where 23 percent of its children are reported as malnourished. Past Port-au-Prince, up and over mountains in Haiti’s Central Plateau 33 percent of Haiti’s children face malnutrition.

While the Akamil processing plant and Nutrition and Training Facility will give a training center for healthcare providers it will also also provide:

• Nourishment for HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis patients

• Daily nutrition for 200,000 individuals along Haiti’s Central Plateau

• Sustainable operating revenue

• Support 3000 local farmers through the purchase of local grains helping these farmers transition from subsistence farming to cash crop farming.

• Entrepreneurial opportunities for women merchants in the plateau

While Haiti’s rainy season, a variety of hurricanes and tropical depressions have delayed the general construction process, funding is also an issue. Project Medishare still needs $225,000 to complete the final stages of construction of the Akamil facility which will bring much hope and progress to the people of Thomonde and the central plateau.

Join the Project Medishare team in completing the Akamil facility and its accompanying Nutrition and Training Center by clicking here to donate to this worthwhile project. A donation of $50, $100, $500, $1000 or more could help the people of Thomonde in their own battle against hunger and malnutrition.
