Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. NPH is a charitable organisation that me and Dave had the fortune of working alongside when we were based in Haiti in 2015. NPH provide a stable and loving environment for children with a range of disabilities at their 24 hour care, residential homes. They also established St Damien's Hospital in 2006 to address the horrifying number of children dying from preventable and reversible causes, and still the only centre providing children's cancer care services in Haiti.

-138,000 children die of preventable diseases every year.

-1 in 5 children is chronically malnourished.

-Haiti has the highest rate of infant, under-5 and maternal mortality in the Western Hemisphere.

Already the poorest country in the Americas, Haiti is now in the grip of a rapidly worsening humanitarian crisis. Chaos and terror have enveloped the country, particularly in the capital, Port-au-Prince, which is now almost completely controlled by armed gangs. The prime minister, Ariel Henry, has been forced to resign, the police and army are unable to maintain order or quell the escalating violence and lawlessness.

Many hospitals, health centres, schools, police stations, prisons and other public institutions have been attacked, leaving the country’s already fragile infrastructure in tatters. The country is on the verge of collapse, awaiting the creation of a transition government with no guarantee this will alleviate the crisis.

Any sponsorship raised through this page with go directly to the projects in Haiti - to support the special needs programme, Saint Damien's Hospital, and the Haiti Emergency Appeal.
