+overview
Mission Statement
The St. Boniface Haiti Foundation is committed to helping those
in need when no one else can. We work side-by-side with the
people of Haiti to break the cycle of poverty and alleviate
suffering through health care, education and community
development. We work with compassion, respect and love for the
people and communities we serve.
Vision
The St. Boniface Haiti Foundation will distinguish itself as a leader
in redefining health care delivery, education and community
development in Haiti. We will be recognized for our passion in
providing quality care to the poorest of the poor in Haiti. We
work toward the goal of building healthy, independent and selfsustaining communities.
SBHF has worked for
social justice in Haiti
since 1983, always
closely collaborating
with the populations we
serve. Our strong ties
with the communities
we serve are our
strongest asset,
and every project
and program relies
on their input. We
pride ourselves on
our commitment to
treating every
person, no matter
their need, with
dignity and
respect.
Eighty-nine percent
of every dollar we
raise goes directly
to supporting our
core programs in
health, education,
and community
development.
SBHF is built on the
belief that success
in Haiti relies on a
commitment to and
a partnership with the
Haitian people. The
key to our success lies
in building systems
that save lives, one
community at a time.
+letter from the
president and ceo
Dear Friends,
tout
moun
se
moun
all
people
are
people
2013 was a year of tremendous progress at St. Boniface and the
communities we serve. From the new bridge that allows access to the
hospital during the rainy season to the start of construction of a new
road in Fond des Blancs, we have seen remarkable growth in communitybased infrastructure. At the hospital, we were able to inaugurate a
16-bed rehabilitation center specializing in spinal cord injury as well as
a new state-of-the-art lab, the largest and best equipped lab on Haiti’s
Southern Peninsula. We also finished building a new warehouse that will
drastically improve our supply chain for essential medications and have
started construction on a desperately needed center for maternal and
neonatal care.
More important than incredible improvements in physical infrastructure,
St. Boniface continued to invest in the communities we serve through
sustainable interventions in health, education, and community
development. Our efforts are led by our team on the ground that are
always willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that basic services are
provided and that lives are saved. Whether it is a local community health
worker in Fond des Blancs walking four hours to provide necessary vaccines
to children living in an isolated location, or a community facilitator riding a
motorcycle to a rocky mountaintop to ensure an HIV/AIDS patient receives
their medication, our team goes to remarkable lengths to make sure
people get the care they need and deserve.
Moving forward, SBHF continues to work towards our vision of healthy
communities where “tout moun se moun” or all people are people. This
Haitian Creole phrase challenges all of us to see all people as deserving
of basic services and rights. Thank you for continuing to work with us
towards a future where all lives have equal value. We cannot do this work
without you.
Sincerely,
Conor Shapiro
President & CEO
+St. Boniface
hospital
“SBHF’s main priority is saving
lives, never turning anyone
away. We empower them through
education, income generating
activities, and high quality health
care in a very dignified way.”
- Dr. Inobert Pierre,
St. Boniface Director General
SBHF started as a one-room clinic, and has grown to
a 60-bed hospital, with specialists in pediatrics, family
medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics, and dentistry.
We employ over 200 staff in Haiti, including 17 doctors,
64 person nursing staff, 6 lab technicians, 2 ultrasound
technicians, 3 mental health professionals, and 3
pharmacy professionals.
Our hardworking staff members are the lifeblood
of SBHF, leading the way as we performed 39,916
physician consultations, 4,595 prenatal checkups, and
12,961 checkups for children under 5. We delivered
954 healthy babies, and admitted, on average, 109
patients a month. Between our busy hospital and
community health efforts, we care for more than
65,000 patients annually.
2013 saw the
construction
and inauguration
of a crucial
NEW laboratory,
allowing us
to expand our
diagnostic abilities.
This vital facility
allows for new
equipment, helping
our staff to improve
patient outcomes
and improve the
quality of care for
all patients who rely
on us.
In 2013, we made significant progress on the rebuilding of our
satellite clinic in the remote village of Villa. Doctors and nurses
continue to see patients in makeshift quarters as the new
buildings go up, which will house and expand on operations
that provide life-saving care to over 10,000 people.
+community health
The strength of our community health program
lies in our 75 community health workers and 42
mothers’ counselors. This dedicated team lead 762
educational sessions on topics from prenatal care to
hygiene and sanitation, ran 156 mothers’ clubs, and
conducted 3,632 home visits. Our doctors and nurses
coordinated 158 mobile clinics, providing 11,377
consultations to mothers and children.
2013 was an encouraging year of expansion for
community health activities. We expanded our
vaccination coverage, administered 16,366 HIV tests,
enrolled 116 new patients in lifesaving anti-retroviral
drug therapy, and worked to improve access to
palliative care services. The team administered 765
malaria tests. Special facilities were built to treat
the 240 cholera patients who sought care at the
hospital. We registered 97 new patients for treatment
at our tuberculosis clinic, and provided essential
interventions for 174 children with severe malnutrition.
“SBHF was chosen for their
efficient and well-developed
community health programs. The
Ti Fwaye program empowers
women, giving them a sense of
achievement when they can feed
their children and keep them
healthy. The dedication, work
ethic, and interest of their staff
and community health workers
played an important role in the
success of this program.”
- Roodly Archer, PhD,
Epidemiologist, Centers
for Disease Control
and Prevention
SBHF is proud to be a partner of the CDC for our Ti Fwaye program, which began in July 2013.
The program provides education on nutrition, water and sanitation, and hygiene for mothers with
malnourished children. Mothers’ counselors are responsible for each of the Ti Fwaye sessions,
where groups meet to learn about balanced diets, cook meals together with local products, and
take time to engage with their children. Data taken before, during, and periodically after each
session helps each mother follow the progress of their child, and allows SBHF community health
workers to track the progress of children in their areas. In the first session, all 28 children gained
weight. Marie, a mother in the program, said, “My child has never had a normal weight, and has
never really been interested in eating. After these two weeks, he eats and eats, and finally has a
normal weight. I am so thankful for this program, and the help my child has received.”
“I’m very proud to be part of
a team that provides quality
preventative and curative
care to the most vulnerable
at no cost.”
- Dr. Miliane Clermont,
Deputy Director General
Doctors in Fond Des Blancs
now have the option of
prescribing rest at Kay Fanm
Ansent, a home for at-risk
pregnant women that SBHF
opened this year. If doctors
anticipate complications
during delivery or if the
women live significant
distances from the hospital,
the new home helps
doctors provide quality
care leading up to the birth.
SBHF saw a ninety percent decrease in cholera cases
in our catchment area from October 2012 to March
2013. Our team fought the deadly waterborne
disease by providing latrines and wells, distributing
soap, and leading hygiene education sessions.
Community health nurses and volunteers continue
to do home visits and deliver lessons about the
importance of hand washing and sanitation.
+Rehabilitation and
Reintegration Program
The foundation of the Rehabilitation and
Reintegration Program is to promote independence
and social inclusion for people with disabilities. The
program began in response to the 2010 earthquake,
and has grown exponentially ever since. There
are now a total of 78 people with spinal cord
injury (SCI) in the program. Our center houses 16
people for long-term rehabilitation, and community
mobile clinics are provided for 62 people who have
reintegrated into communities around the country.
This year, our interdisciplinary team conducted over
500 mobile clinic visits, facilitated 119 psychosocial
support groups, and modified over 25 homes to make
them more accessible.
We are proud to have greatly expanded the range
of rehabilitation services we offer to the whole
community. In 2013 we provided 326 outpatient
physical therapy sessions for people with a variety
of needs, including post-operative, pediatric, stroke,
and burn care.
“The work accomplished by
St Boniface is unique in Haiti.
They have provided a number
of people seriously disabled by
spinal cord injuries with the
emotional and clinical support
to overcome the disabilities and
function productively in their
communities.”
- USAID Mission Director
John Groarke
“The new campus is incredibly exciting because it
allows our participants to realize an increased level
of independence and autonomy. It gives them the
ability to shift their mindset from that of a person
who is sick, to that of a person beginning to adapt to
life with a disability.”
- Betsy Sherwood, Program Manager
“On several occasions, we
have had the opportunity to
collaborate with SBHF. Their
work is much appreciated in Haiti,
especially within the community
advocating for the rights of
persons with disabilities.”
- Gérald Oriol Jr.
Secretary of State for the Intergration
of Person with Disabilities (SEIPH)
In April 2013, we officially
inaugurated our new campus for
the Rehabilitation and Community
Reintegration Program. In addition
to family units and dormitorystyle rooms, the new facility
boasts a rehabilitation gym,
community center, wheelchair
repair workshop, vocational
training room, patient resource
library, private counseling space,
wheelchair-height garden boxes,
an accessible cooking facility, and
a basketball court. We expanded
our vocational programs
significantly throughout the year,
with courses offered in adaptive
gardening, carpentry, computer
studies, sewing, jewelry making,
and small business management.
We were proud to make nine
microfinance loans to people with
SCI living in the community.
+education
SBHF is dedicated to supporting and expanding
educational opportunities. We provide scholarships
to as many students as possible, focusing on children
who wouldn’t otherwise have access to education.
This year, we supported 387 primary school students,
279 secondary school students, and 37 university
students. Various forms of support were provided to
30 schools, ranging from teacher salaries, to books, to
digging wells for schools with no drinking water.
“I usually say to
students, ‘you have
only one opportunity
in life, and that’s
education.”
- Jean Rony Bellange,
Education and Community
Development Assistant
Jean Philippe Franck and Jean Eveins Buissereth, both 27,
are two members of a hardworking group of 18 local
students who have recently graduated from universities
across the country. Jean Philippe trained as an agronomist
in Port-au-Prince and has just finished his schooling.
“It’s an agricultural country,” he explained. “I wanted
to be part of that.” His compatriot Jean Eveins also just
graduated, from medical school, this past December.
Both of them plan to continue their educations, but in the
meantime, Jean Philippe and Jean Eviens are working at
SBHF. “I’m from this town; working around here means I’m
helping family and friends,” says Jean Eveins. “I want to give
back after all they’ve given me.”
+Community
Development
SBHF is constantly working to invest in our community beyond
providing medicine. We have established several community
development programs, ranging from a cooperative livestockraising program for teen mothers, to a home for the elderly,
to community gardens. With initiatives like these, SBHF aims to
develop sustainable livelihoods for those in our rural community.
“We hope with the training and
the investment they will become
independent producers, able to support
their own families.”
- Michelet Mascary,
Education and Community
Development Coordinator
SBHF has begun a program for
25 teenage mothers, teaching
them livestock skills, starting
with chickens. The goal is to
sell each crop at the local
market and to the hospital,
creating a product cycle and
providing these women with an
consistent income.
All of our work is centered around
empowerment, and we strive to foster
the development of local leadership
in the communities we serve. We have
found that by encouraging education
and opportunity, we are able to create
sustainable programs and businesses
that flourish without us.
SBHF’s first demonstration and
training garden is growing strong,
a test run for a project where 20
community members at a time train
in gardening and maintenance
techniques. These producers then
sell their produce to the SBHF
hospital and the community.

“In Haiti there is a popular proverb used often by
the poor: ‘tout moun se moun’ or ‘all people
are people.’ This continues to be a lesson and a
challenge for our organization and our work.”
- Conor Shapiro, President & CEO
+history
SBHF’s story began in 1983 when the parishioners from St.
Boniface, the poorest parish in Quincy, MA, traveled to Haiti. Their
experiences moved and inspired them to make a commitment
to those they had met, and they continued fundraising for Haiti.
Led by Father Jerry Osterman and parishioner Nannette Canniff,
the group eventually opened a one-room clinic in Fond des
Blancs, a remote town in the mountains of southern Haiti. They
were impressed with the resiliency of this community, even as
its people suffered conditions of extreme poverty. They built
a clinic, a school, and eventually the St. Boniface Hospital,
which was completed in 1992. Since that time, SBHF has grown
exponentially, drawing support from donors and partners at both
national and international levels.
+looking forward
2013 was a year of great progress for
SBHF, and the excitement will continue
into 2014. We anticipate the Villa satellite
clinic will be finished and inaugurated,
and construction on our new Maternal
Health Center will be complete. Our goal
by the end of 2014 is to drastically expand
access to prenatal and maternal services
for thousands of mothers and babies,
while maintaining our commitment to
our wide range of current programs, to
create a stronger, healthier, and more
sustainable Haiti.
Our team at St. Boniface has a
‘do whatever it takes’
approach to getting quality health care to those who need it most.
This attitude is already turning 2014 into an exciting year, one that will
involve significant growth, most especially with the construction of the
new maternal health center.”
