Haiti earthquake response: Rehab & Prosthetics

On behalf of Fondation Tous Ensemble, we want to thank you once again for your enormous generosity and for allowing us to continue providing rehabilitation services to the population of southern Haiti.

During the months of April to July, 4,431 rehabilitation sessions were carried out, including 269 new patients evaluated at the rehabilitation center. In addition to this, in the prosthetics and orthoses shop, 13 prostheses and 120 orthoses were fabricated.

In the program of workshop for patients, a support group for amputee patients was held monthly, in which around 20 patients participated in each session. In addition, 2 educational workshops were held for stroke patients and their families and 2 for parents of children with disabilities. In the month of June, a recreational activity was also carried out for stroke patients and their families.

Within the community activities, we continue supporting the training for the amputee soccer team, in addition to the organization of 2 games in which more than 200 people participated. Another activity was also HBP screening with a total of 764 participants. Mobile clinics continued, in which a total of 1,586 people participated during the months of April to July.

In the month of April, the repair work of the FONTEN clinic began, the work aims not only to repair but also to reinforce the building, so that it is paraseismic and be prepared for any type of future event.

Once again we want to thank you for your support, from Haiti, we continue to work hard to provide a better service to our community, and this is achieved largely by people like you, who constantly support us.

On behalf of FONTEN team, we want to thank you for the support you have provided us during this time. As you know, as a consequence of the earthquake of August 14, our clinic suffered major structural damage, for this reason, at present we are working in a temporary tent. Despite these difficulties, FONTEN's work has grown and we have been able to continue caring for our permanent patients, new patients and earthquake victims.

In the month of October, FONTEN, with the support of the NGO CESAL, together we began a project of mobile clinics in different remote areas in the south of Haiti. Here, 60 locations were visited and 2,726 people were treated, of which 442 were victims of the earthquake and 443 people with disabilities.

From October 2021 to March 2022, 5,509 treatment sessions have been carried out in the center and a total of 509 new patients have been evaluated. 96 orthoses have been manufactured, and 20 prostheses, among these 8 were for victims of the earthquake. In addition to these activities, FONTEN has carried out various activities, such as a year-end celebration for children with disabilities and their families, distribution of 200 food kits, celebration of Women's Day focused on women's rights and GBV, support for the amputee soccer team of Les Cayes , training for parents of children with disabilities, celebration of International Down Syndrome Day, training for amputee’s patients and a campaign for education and prevention of hypertension.

On the other hand, we want to tell you that at the beginning of this month of April we have started the repairs of our center, we know that it will be a long process since the reconstruction of the building will take time, but we are confident that in the future we will have a better place to receive our patients.

Our work is mainly supported by people like you and on behalf of our team and community, we want to thank you very warmly for the trust in our work and constant support. It really does mean the world to us.
