We’ve accomplished this because our frontline workers persist in the face of unimaginable challenges, in large part due to your support.
Why does our staff persist?
"For myself even I am not a medical professional and I am not working directly in ground with the patient in the communities. But as a leader and head of the organization in country, it is an obligation for me to accompany our employees to give them strength. Secondly, is to show respect to all the Board members and donors that sacrifice 
themselves to support my people. While they are making all those efforts, I would be guilty to stand with hands folded, seeing my brothers and sisters dying because of lack of healthcare. Sure, it is dangerous and insecure for everyone in Haiti, including our employees, but the situation would be worse if we abandoned communities in the countryside -- if no one heard their voices because the shortage of the gas. To go to work despite the situation in Haiti, you have to have a good heart and love others: I consider all the employees at HUFH as bon samaritan."
Fritznel Jean, In-Country Assistant Executive Director/Human Resources Manager/Legal Liaison/Archivist
"The situation is very difficult. What make my object of motivation to continue my work with HUFH?
