Strenghts
HHCA’s competitive advantage comes from its structure as an organization and its local presence in the community. HHCA’s partnerships with the local leaders and the ministry of health in the country as a whole especially in the northern part of Haiti
HHCA has a great network of 30+ healthcare workers and other professionals with various specialties: doctors, psychologists, nurses; managers, lawyers. In addition, the network comprises specialists in marketing and fundraising
Long Term Plan
All of HHCA programs have the same overall goal: to increase access to quality healthcare for people in the northern part of Haiti, particularly those most vulnerable women and children.
HHCA has partnered with HANA-I to ensure the success and sustainability of these programs: Timoun an sante and EDU-sante. Both organizations are committed to engage in the successful implementation of these programs and envision extending these services to more regions throughout the island of Haiti.
and eventually have a state of the art Hospital built in the region
Ongoing Projects
Many people from the Cap- Haitien region currently benefit from HHCA programs, but with the funding, we will extend screening services to many vulnerable, underserved women and children who are more at risk.
“Timoun an Sante” will reach approximately 1500 to 2000 children for advanced health care assessment and interventions, when necessary, by December 2022 which is a small drop in the bucket.
- “Edu Sante” will empower at least 500 women and teenagers by December 2022 through seminars on awareness of GBV and sexual abuse to address the painful psychosocial effect on their mental health

HHCA imprints on the community are deeply rooted since 2017. The clinics HHCA partnered with and supported have touched more than 6,000 patients collectively from normal visits to mobile clinics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HHCA distributed hundreds of personal protective e
