Welcome To Lamp For Haiti

  

A Powerful Force For Health And A Beacon Of Hope In The Community We Serve

 

 

 

Who We Are

We are a nonprofit, nonsectarian, apolitical organization dedicated to providing health care and humanitarian aid to improve the lives of some of the most marginalized people in Haiti, among the poorest in the Western Hemisphere.

Our Work

We deliver quality medical care to the community of Cité Soleil, a huge shantytown on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Our committed staff has weathered hurricanes, earthquakes, civil unrest, and political turmoil to provide life-saving medical care to more than 15,000 patients a year.

Founding Story

Many Haitians live on 50 cents a day and can only dream of regular visits to the doctor, leaving many to suffer and die from preventable and treatable diseases. Lamp founder, Dr. James Morgan, knew that a brighter future and tremendous human potential could be unlocked with improved health.
