Overview

Mission

Our mission is to support the development of a sustainable health system to meet the needs of the Cap-Haitien community in Haiti with maximum local direction and support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Konbit Sante is a global health non-profit organization that supports the delivery of quality health services in northern Haiti. Founded in 2001, the organization strives to impact the building blocks, or essential functions, of a health system by working with partners to ensure that they have a well-trained workforce, reliable data, well-maintained facilities, access to essential medication, supplies, and equipment, adequate financing, and strong management practices. Konbit Sante believes that supporting the capacity of local health systems is the path to ensuring sustainable quality, accessible, and efficient health care for all.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - Most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
