One Tiny Life. One Chance.

When “Baby Justinien” was born severely premature, his parents believed he had little chance of survival. In Haiti, 39% of newborn deaths are due to prematurity, and in public hospitals the reality is particularly stark: incubators are scarce, oxygen is unreliable, and staff are stretched thin. Faced with those grim odds, his parents abandoned him.

But because of support from Konbit Sante donors and partners, Jayden—as the Justinien University Hospital staff named him—was placed in an incubator, fed by tube, and continuously monitored by nurses whose training and salaries are sustained by your generosity.

Jayden was cared for with equipment provided through collaboration with our partners, and with the steady electrical power, water, and medicines that Konbit Sante ensures are in place.

Today, Jayden is alive not just because of a single intervention, but because of an entire system of care, strengthened by Konbit Sante. You helped make this possible.

Not every hospital has this safety net. At Hôpital Fort Saint Michel (below), thousands of mothers and children once had access to a USAID-funded program, managed by Konbit Sante, that provided prenatal care, vaccinations, and health education.

This year, USAID funding for that program was abruptly terminated.

Thanks to emergency support from donors and partners, however, we’ve been able to keep services going at 40% capacity—but that is not enough. Many mothers still go without prenatal visits. Children still lack critical vaccines. Health workers are still sidelined. And women and children deserve 100%, not 40%, of the care to which they’re entitled.

Why your gift matters right now.

Baby Justinien survived because JUH had the resources it needed. At Fort Saint Michel, that same safety net is only partially restored, leaving far too many families unprotected.

To help offset the loss of USAID funding and to ensure our ability to continue service to all of our partners, we must raise $300,000 by December 31. Your gift today will bring us closer to achieving our goal of dignified, quality and compassionate care for the most vulnerable mothers and children in northern Haiti.
