Join the We Walk with Haiti fundraiser

For more than a decade, Konbit Sante has hosted the Maine Walks with Haiti 5K walk/run in Portland, Maine, to build a sustainable health system in northern Haiti that maximizes local planning and control. It is our largest annual fundraiser, and its success is essential to funding our work throughout the year.

In response to restrictions on social gatherings necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Maine Walks with Haiti was temporarily rebranded to We Walk with Haiti in 2020. We have decided to keep the event virtual in 2021 to ensure that supporters can participate as safely as possible.

Konbit Sante partners with the Ministry of Health in Haiti and with four Haitian healthcare facilities—two hospitals and two health centers. We support their efforts to provide high-quality care to their community by procuring and shipping needed supplies, medications, and equipment; proving training and joint problem solving; supporting research to improve delivery of care; strengthening community outreach and immunizations; providing funding for facilities improvements and construction; and much more. Funds raised from We Walk with Haiti will help ensure that this work continues.

You can participate in We Walk with Haiti in a number of ways:

• Become a fundraiser. Ask friends, colleagues, and family members to support your efforts as you raise funds.
