The Disaster Recovery Center is described as "the best of its kind" in Haiti. Within days after the devastating January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) deployed a team of disaster-trained and field-tested emergency physicians who established the Fond Parisien Disaster Recovery Center (DRC)-the largest transitional surgical, medical, and rehabilitation field hospital in Haiti. The DRC, a partnership between the HHI and Love a Child Inc., has treated over 1,200 patients with attention to maintaining the highest standards for displaced populations with respect to adequate water, sanitation, nutrition and shelter. The medical teams have provided intensive surgical support, nursing care, psychosocial counseling, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
A donation in any amount will be immediately useful on the ground in Haiti, for example:
$25- Feeds one patient and their family three hot meals
$100- Provides physical therapy for an amputee for one week
$500- Buys diesel for our mobile clinics to reach satellite sites throughout the underserved border region
$1,000- Buys a round trip plane ticket for one volunteer doctor to travel to Haiti and work in HHI's field hospital
$2,000- Sends local Haitian staff to train at HHI's Humanitarian Studies Course in Boston to learn about emergency preparedness for future disasters
$5,000- Buys a mobile xray machine for the field hospital which is critical for providing care to patients with complicated crush injuries
$25,000- Pays the salaries of 122 local Haitian staff for one month's work at the Disaster Recovery Center
