Medical & Healthcare Volunteer in Haiti

We work in collaboration with Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population and other organizations to deliver culturally appropriate, high impact health interventions. We train skilled birth attendants from rural areas and get them to women who need them. Our programs educate and empower Haitian women and men to improve the health of their communities, creating lasting change in their lives and the lives of the mothers and children they care for.

我们的健壮的志愿者项目一直是一个重要组成部分of our work since the very beginning, and over half our volunteers return for subsequent trips. Our past and current volunteers are a large part of the MFH family, and we value their experience and contributions. The most successful volunteers are those who are flexible, culturally humble, and above all, can model compassionate, loving care.

The volunteer opportunities we offer are:

MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS
Are you a medical professional, ie midwife, doctor, nurse? Do you hold a license or certificate in your home country or state? We have various volunteering opportunities available for you, ranging from serving at an isolated rural birth center to teaching in our school for advanced obstetrical skills.

NON-MEDICAL PARAPROFESSIONALS
While our need for non-medical volunteers is not as great, we do accept applications from paraprofessionals in the birth field. These include doulas, especially those with advanced lactation training, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants, (IBCLCs) childbirth educators, etc. We also have an ongoing need for professional and semi professional photographers and videographers.

LOCAL IMMERSION ACTIVITIES
It’s not all work on your visit to Haiti! This is one of the most fascinating countries in the world, with a complex, intricate history. Here at MFH, we believe that cultural solidarity can be achieved when people immerse themselves in a nation’s past AND present. To that end, we have a variety of experiences available to aid you in beginning to understand the many layers of Haiti. All are optional, and this list is ever changing and evolving. We like to stay open to all possibilities here, on all levels, physical, mental and spiritual. Transportation and translators are provided if necessary.
