Project Medishare For Haiti

What Project Medishare For Haiti does

Project Medishare for Haiti is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, with operational facilities in rural Haiti. The organization delivers community-based healthcare to approximately 100,000 residents of rural Haiti through two health clinics, two maternity centers, and Hospital Bernard Mevs, a critical care hospital. Its programmatic portfolio spans six service areas: Community Health, Maternal Health, Child Health & Nutrition, Capacity Building, Emergency Response, and Hospital Bernard Mevs. A distinguishing operational feature is the neurosurgery fellowship program, which trains Haitian physicians in advanced surgical techniques with mentoring from international volunteer medical professionals.

The organization employs a community-based, Haitian-led service delivery model, emphasizing capacity building and local partnership over dependency-creating aid structures. It has maintained continuous operations for over 30 years and was prominently involved in humanitarian response following the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake, an event that shaped its permanent emergency response capability.

Project Medishare generates no revenue from patient services; instead, it is funded entirely through charitable giving. Its revenue model rests on three pillars: individual donations (one-time and a tiered monthly giving program at $25, $50, and $100 per month), corporate partnerships and in-kind contributions (exemplified by a $100,000 PPE donation from Sodexo in 2020), and volunteer professional services from medical practitioners. Donor acquisition is executed through a website donation portal, monthly recurring giving tiers, social media engagement (Instagram, Facebook fundraising), email newsletters, content marketing via the organization's blog, and the iGive shopping rebate program. The 2019 AANS Humanitarian of the Year award (conferred on Dr. Sandberg for the neurosurgery fellowship) represents the most prominent third-party validation of the organization's clinical reputation.
