How We Work
MATH channels 95% of public donations directly into the Port-au-Prince Project, which supports Hôpital Bellevue-La-Montagne, a hospital and clinic in L’Oiseau, Haiti, serving a community of ~150,000 from the surrounding villages in the Port-au-Prince area.
Healthcare is provided 24 / 7, and includes OB/GYN, pediatrics, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, ophthalmology, dental, ultrasound and x-ray imaging, and laboratory and pharmacy services. Approximately 600 patients (men, women and children), who otherwise would not have access or could not afford healthcare, are seen each month.
Support of the Port-au-Prince Project relies on individual donors, foundations and corporate sponsors to cover the salaries of Haitian staff, facility maintenance, medical equipment and supplies, and special projects. These donor “investments” fuel MATH short- and long-range goals in support of our trusted partnership with Dr. Wilkens Gilbert, hospital administrator and surgeon.
Operating as an all-volunteer organization, board of directors and committee members provide their time and energy to support our mission to Help Haitians Heal Haitians. U.S.-based volunteers pay their own way on mission trips to work alongside and collaborate with Haitian colleagues and provide specialty services.
