Providing medical and financial assistance to the poor and underserved in Hinche, Haiti.

The Sacre Coeur Refectory (Soup Kitchen) in Hinche, Haiti feeds 75-125 families a day, five days a week.

In 2003, we opened our permanent clinic at Sacre Coeur Parish, the Whitney Clinic, named after Jim Whitney, the orthodontist whose generous donation allowed us to fund its construction.

We have a great program set-up to help fund our full-time Whitney Clinic physician, Dr. Hudson Pierre.

In the course of treating thousands of patients over the past 12 years, it became apparent that a main health problem faced by persons visiting the clinic is a lack of clean drinking water.

One of the greatest gifts you can give a young person in Haiti is an education. For that reason, we have started a scholarship program at Sacre Coeur Parish in Hinche.

Kado Lespwa is designed to help families in a crisis whether the underlying cause is hunger, extreme malnourishment, poor health, lack of shelter, poverty or simply poor in spirit.

The cost to sponsor a seminarian for a year is just $400. Sponsors receive a photo and information on their seminarian and will be in his daily prayers.

Dr. Jim Toth, Barb Burk RN, and Mark Coughlin worked at a makeshift field hospital treating scores of severely injured people while Jon Steele worked hard to make safe drinking water available to hard-hit communities all over Port-au-Prince. The hundreds of pounds of donated supplies they carried down helped save lives.
