Description:

The Haitian Health Foundation relies on volunteers to travel to Haiti to supplement current staff with skills and resources, including volunteer medical professionals, electricians, plumbers, diesel mechanics, computer experts, and general maintenance personnel.

There are two ways you may serve as a volunteer: our short-term visiting volunteers or long-term volunteer assignments.

Our short-term volunteers travel to Jérémie from the United States, Canada, and different countries from America and Europe, at their own expense, to share their skills and resources.

The third floor of the HHF clinic is a volunteer residence capable of housing our short-term visiting volunteers. The average length of a trip to Jérémie is one week. Volunteers are encouraged to join an already scheduled group. Individual visits are difficult to arrange and will be accommodated only under exceptional circumstances.

Organizational Base: Norwich, Connecticut
