Partners in Education Haiti received an additional $10,000 grant from the Missouri Methodist Conference to continue its water, health, and hygiene efforts in the village of Duplan, Haiti.
The Duplan Methodist Church is the hub of the community, assisting members and area residents when it can. The gift will allow the Church to reopen its mobile clinic that serves the community as a whole. The grant will restock the clinic with needed pharmaceutical supplies, purchase medical equipment and materials, pay electric costs and expenses for general maintenance. In addition, the grant will pay the salary for a part-time doctor, dentist, eye doctor, and nurse for six months. PieH’s Program Assistant, Edome Orvilous, will oversee the distribution of the funds.
The grant will help reestablish the small clinic on church property. It will service the entire community. One of two exam rooms at the reopened clinic Two-hundred patients will be seen every month at the reopened clinic
“The Conference selected PieH as the recipient of these funds partly because Haitians’ requested to work with PieH again,” explained Dr. Lucas Endicott, Associate Director of Mission, Service, and Justice for the Missouri Conference.”
PieH has been working in Haiti for ten years and partnered with the Methodist Church of Duplan on a previous water project that provides sanitary restrooms with a handwashing station for several hundred students and a clean-water station for the community. Ten PieH students attend this school.
