When Hope for Haitians builds a village we make sure it has a Community Center. It provides a location for many different village activities; church services, leadership training, family celebrations, medical clinics and more. In Love Friendship Village, located in Savanne Carre, Hope for Haitians build 75 homes, a community center and implemented food production projects.
Health assessment stations for the mobile clinic held in the Hope for Haitians funded Community Center.
Recently, Dr. Jean who works with Hope for Haitians, conducted a mobile clinic in Love Friendship Village. Mobil clinics are funded through the Faith Project. Dr. Jean provides service twice a week in both Garde Saline and Dumas in clinics sponsored by Hope for Haitians and The Faith Project. This was the second second mobile clinic he coordinated for villages without a clinic. Most of the families in this village live in houses built by Hope for Haitians and the clinic was held at the Community Center.
During a mobile clinic, Dr. Jean coordinates a volunteer team to provide health services to the residents in a village. At this clinic four nurses, four physicians and an helper were able to provide health assessments and services to 272 people.
