On the Ground: A Clinic Report from Haiti

Dear Homeopathy Supporter,


Today I want to give you a real glimpse, not a polished report, but an honest window into what homeopathic outreach looks like on the ground in Haiti.


It is muddy. It is dangerous. It is urgent. And it is saving lives.

Many of you know that HWB has a long-standing presence in Haiti. You are aware of the unrest and warfare that continue there. What you may not fully see is how homeopathy is actively touching and saving lives in the middle of that instability. And even more importantly…how your donations are making that possible.


In Haiti, a team of homeopaths, trained by HWB volunteers who gave their time with love and dedication, now serve the displaced, the homeless, the injured, and the sick.


These Haitian homeopaths work tirelessly in conditions most of us cannot imagine.


I have left their reports largely unedited so you can hear directly from them.

Report 1: May 17, 2025


The team arrived at the site around 7:30 AM. The camp had flooded the night before after heavy rains that lasted nearly all night.


A small room had been prepared so patients suspected of cholera could be seen.


The camp sits beneath a hill. When it rains, water rushes down carrying earth and debris. Residents scramble to clear mud and rubbish because each storm threatens landslides. With every rainfall, families closest to the hill must move quickly to avoid tragedy.


The camp president shared that they had already experienced 19 deaths. Thirty residents had been urgently transferred to the hospital. Only 11 had returned.


He explained that oral rehydration alone was not enough to manage what they were facing. He thanked the team for coming into the mud and instability to help.


By the end of that day:

  • 69 patients suspected of cholera were seen
  • 21 were critically ill with severe dehydration
  • 4,583 residents received their first dose of homeopathic cholera prevention


The team received formal instruction: do everything possible to save lives.

Report 2: May 20, 2025


Reaching the site was extremely difficult. Overnight rain had washed so much debris into the roads that traffic throughout Port-au-Prince came to a standstill.


When the team arrived, the entrance to the camp was blocked by a thick strip of mud. Residents, armed with picks, axes, and shovels, were clearing it themselves. Water had accumulated overnight. It was dirty. It smelled foul. Panic spread quickly.


After repeated calls from the camp president, City Hall sent an excavator to remove theobstruction. As the water drained away, relief moved through the camp and through the team.


And then came the update. Of the 69 patients seen days earlier:

  • 45 have recovered
  • 4 were transferred
  • 20 are improving


Of the 21 who had a very poor prognosis:

  • 17 were cured and transferred

Dear Reader,


This is happening because of you. Because you give. Because you care. Because you believe health should be accessible, even in war zones, even in mud-filled camps, even when resources are scarce. Your donations allow trained Haitian homeopaths to travel into dangerous, unstable areas and offer care not only to those who are ill but to entire communities as a preventative measure. That is extraordinary.


I cannot personally travel into these regions due to the danger. But I can stand behind those who do. I can support from where I am. And so can you.


If you feel moved by these reports, please consider continuing your support. Your donations make it possible for:

  • Remedies to be stocked before storms hit
  • Clinics to operate inside displacement camps
  • Local practitioners to receive ongoing training and support
  • Care to reach those who would otherwise receive none

Imagine if the situation were reversed. Imagine if your family were living under that hill. Wouldn’t you hope someone would come?


Thank you for being part of this effort. Stay tuned for our next clinic report.


With gratitude,
