“Little Clinic. Lifesaving Care.”
Ti Klinik means “little clinic” in Creole.
Haiti continues to struggle with some of the world’s poorest health conditions, especially in the rural mountain regions where medical care is extremely limited. For many families, the nearest healthcare facility is simply too far away to reach because of difficult terrain and lack of transportation.
In January 2016, Hands for Haiti brought a small medical team — including a doctor, chiropractor, nurses, and volunteers — to a mountain community for a three-day clinic. What they discovered was heartbreaking: people had nowhere to go for medical care. A local pastor pleaded with the team to “not forget the mountain people.”
Those words stayed in our hearts. Through God’s guidance and provision, a permanent clinic — Klinik Men Pou Ayiti — was opened in May 2016 high in the mountains of central Haiti.
Today, men, women, and children are receiving the care they deserve. Illnesses are being treated, hope is being restored, and precious lives are being saved.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
Sante Lakay - "Home of Health"
Partner with us to build
Sante Lakay
In 2022, God gave us another vision — a pathway to freedom for the people of the mountain. A new clinic called Sante Lakay, meaning “Home of Health.”
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…” Galatians 5:1
This new clinic will provide complete healthcare for the community, including laboratory and pharmaceutical services, maternal care for mothers and babies, health education, clean water support, and so much more.
In 2023, we began raising funds to make this dream a reality. Hands for Haiti purchased a small mountain, and the community came together in an incredible way. Men, women, and children climbed the mountain carrying sand and rock, clearing land, and helping build a future for their people.
Today, construction is about halfway complete. The dream is still growing.
-
One day, this mountain will have the care it deserves.
-
One day, families will no longer walk for hours without hope.
-
One day, children will be born in safety.
-
One day, this community will stand proud of what they built together.
One day is coming...
Health classes for young women
Education
In a lot of third world countries, young women struggle during their menstrual cycle. They are forced to stay home from school because they don't have the necessary materials to treat themselves. We teach hygiene classes to young women and provide them with materials so they can continue their education and create a career for themselves!
