Mare-Brignol, Haiti
Mare Brignol has been a community that IMO has worked with since 2011. Our collaboration with Vitamin Angles allowed us to work closely with the medical personnel to provide physical check-ups of patients, and administer Vitamin A to the children, to prevent blindness. Regardless, IMO continues to support the Mare Brignol community in collaboration with the Belle Anse Timoun Family. Through IMO’s financial contributions, the organization is able to allocate those funds to a cistern and a clinic/pharmacy. Additionally, IMO is a part of the BATF Radio Education initiative, in which we will educate, along with an MD panel, about different illnesses or general health topics for the community to learn about. In this radio show, we will speak about how prevention is key to avoiding infection or illness from a certain pathogen.
Current Updates
For over 12 years, IMO has proudly partnered with BATF (Belle Anse Timoun Family) and HERO (Health and Education Relief Organization) to help establish a permanent clinic for the underserved community of Mare-Brignol, Haiti. Our journey began in 2011, in a rural area faced with limited access to medical care and healthcare facilities.
Our mission has always been to provide strategic support to help Mare-Brignol achieve sustainable healthcare. While our trips to Haiti have been paused, our commitment to the community has remained strong. We are trilled to announce that the clinic was completed and officially opened its doors on January 9th, 2025. Today, the clinic is serving the community, with patients now receiving care daily!
Cistern
With millions of Haitians lacking clean drinking water, the country is experiencing a resurgence of cholera. Cisterns store rainwater as a means to provide clean drinking water to the community.
Radio Education
A radio system is in the process of being fixed so the members of IMO, along with Dr. Kwong, can still interact with the community. This will impact their lives through health education prevention related to cholera, scabies and many more treatable communicable diseases!
Clinic & Pharmacy
The purpose of our clinic and pharmacy is to ensure the community of Mare-Brignol has readily accessible healthcare services in IMO’s absence.
