Overview

Mission

We support haitian communities in their efforts to build and sustain healthy families by developing best health care practices to share across haiti and other low-resource communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Family health ministries is committed to improving the opportunity for education in haiti through the following programs: saint antoine school in fondwa - the saint antoine school serves 700 students grades pre-k through 13 in the rural mountain community of fondwa. Fhm began its student sponsorship program in 2000 to support casinoluck.ca students, teachers' salaries, and general infrastructure. Through support from sponsors, fhm is able to provide $4,000.00/ month to the education of these special young people.fatima house orphange - since 2000, family health ministries has provided financial and spiritual support for fatima house orphanage. Under the direction of the sisters of fondwa, the orphanage is home to over 60 children ranging from infants to young adults. Family health ministries provides financial support to the sisters to help meet the needs of these children. Many of the children at the orphanage are not orphans in the traditional sense, but instead their parents have turned them over to the sisters' care because their families are unable to provide appropriate food and shelter. All school-age children attend the adjacent saint antoine school. Family health ministries works to pair these students with sponsors in the USA through our student sponsorship program.the leogane nursing school - since 2008, family health ministries began sponsoring students annually at the leogane nursing school, the facult des sciences infirmires de l'universit episcopale d'hati (faculty of nursing science of the episcopal university of haiti or fsil). This unique four year school is the only bsn program in the country. Overseen by dean hilda alcindor, young men and women are becoming well trained nurses with impressive critical thinking skills. Family health ministries has been blessed to hire nurses from this program to run our many women's health initiatives.university student programs - family health ministries partners with colleges and universities to provide research opportunities for undergraduates, graduate, and professional students. Students typically work on an fhm research project collecting data, data analysis, and eventual publication in some form. The data collected is used to evaluate existing fhm programs, assess community need, and implement new programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
