Overview

Mission

CHI's primary purpose is to provide medical care and public health services to communities in rural Haiti. The organization also partners with other organizations to address issues such as water quality and sanitation, nutrition, and community development.

What it reported doing in 2023

CHI organizes medical and surgical clinics in Haiti. Historically these clinics were staffed primarily by volunteer medical and non-medical professionals from the US, however due to unsafe travel conditions and the Covid pandemic all clinics in 2020 and 2021 have been staffed by Haitian medical providers. The clinics provide an opportunity for health education, preventative health care, and diagnosis and treatment of individual patients. CHI's Haitian-led clinics provided crucial health care to approximately 3,000 patients in 2022.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
