  • Final Report to Dining for Women for Their February 2013 Grant
    Midwives For Haiti FINAL REPORT TO DINING FOR WOMEN FOR THEIR FEBRUARY 2013 GRANT Organization Name: Midwives For Haiti Program Title: Midwives Save Lives: Reducing Maternal and Neonatal Mortality in Haiti by Training Skilled Birth Attendants Grant Amount: $50,000 Contact Person: Stephen Eads, MD Address: 500 Lake Caroline Dr., Ruther Glen, VA 22546 Program Objectives The mission of Midwives For Haiti is the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality in Haiti. This is accomplished by training Haitians as skilled birth attendants and improving access for Haitian women to prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care. The Dining For Women grant provided financial support for our skilled birth attendant school in Hinche, Haiti and support for our mobile prenatal clinic that serves women in 16 rural villages on Haiti’s central plateau. Graduates of the 10 month course have the skills needed to provide care to pregnant women throughout their pregnancies. They attain the skills enumerated by the World Health Organization as the core abilities of skilled birth attendants. Among these skills are the ability to prevent and/or manage the common life- threatening complications of pregnancy; pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, infection and obstructed labor. The mobile prenatal clinic provides care to over 400 women each month. The women receive vitamins, iron supplements and medication for intestinal parasites. They are tested for sexually transmitted diseases and examined for pregnancy complications. Women with high-risk problems are referred to physicians or transported to the hospital. Program Achievements 23 Haitian students graduated from our skilled birth attendant school in October 2013. The table below shows the number of graduates from each class since 2006 and the number employed in hospitals, clinics and birth centers in Haiti.

  • WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT of HAITI August 1999
    WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF HAITI August 1999 Haiti Dominican Republic US Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District and Topographic Engineering Center Water Resources Assessment of Haiti Executive Summary Haiti is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. The population has already outstripped domestic food production, and it is estimated that the population will be 8 million by the year 2000. One-third of the population lives in the Département de l’Ouest where Port-au-Prince is located. Heavy migration from rural areas to towns and cities occurring over the past decade has adversely affected the distribution of the water supply. Access to water and sanitation facilities is inadequate, contributing to poor living conditions, disease, and a high mortality rate. In 1990 only 39 percent of the 5.9 million residents had adequate access to water and only 24 percent to sanitation. The lack of potable water for basic human needs is one of the most critical problems in the country. Given the rainfall and abundant water resources, there is adequate water to meet the water demands, but proper management to develop and maintain the water supply requirements is lacking. However, the water supply sector is undergoing complete transformation. Although currently there is no comprehensive water policy, progress is being made towards establishing a national water resources management policy. Numerous agencies and non-government organizations (NGO’s) are working to provide water, many of which conduct their missions with little or no coordination with other agencies, which creates duplication of work and inefficient use of resources.

A site in the Maissade/5e coal field was selected for sampling. Analyses of the coal samples will focus on the possibility of converting the lignite into smokeless fuel briquettes.
