CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.

Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols.

On any one day, more than 27,000 committed individuals representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance to people caught in crises around the world. They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators, epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health professionals, and others who work together in accordance with MSF's guiding principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics.

Partners In Health Vision: Whatever it takes

At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social services. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill.

Project Medishare

Dr. Barth Green and Dr. Arthur Fournier founded Project Medishare for Haiti, Inc. in 1994. They assembled the first team of faculty from the University of Miami Schools of Medicine and Nursing to assess the health care situation in Haiti and explore ways in which they could help improve the health conditions of the people in Haiti. Since that first trip, Project Medishare has forged partnerships with physicians and allied health professionals with a strong belief in social justice and that everyone has the right to quality healthcare.

Mercy & Sharing was co-founded by Susie and Joe Krabacher in 1994 as a non-profit public charity. Mercy & Sharing has been working in Haiti for 15 years and employs more than 160 Haitians in our operations there. The passion and mission of Mercy & Sharing is simple; to provide hope, love, and opportunity to the abused, abandoned, and disabled children of Haiti. We do this through a variety of relief and development programs which are funded by private contributions. Mercy & Sharing owns and operates two orphanages, a mobile clinic, three schools, and feeding programs across the country. The mission has expanded in recent years to providing food aid to the elderly and oppressed in the Cap Haitian region of northern Haiti as well.

Mercy & Sharing’s unpaid Board of Directors and co-founders contribute more than 100% of all overhead and administrative expenses. All general, outside donations go directly to Mercy & Sharing programs in Haiti.
