We nurture healthier lives and brighter futures

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.

Extending the Family

Lamp’s theme for 2024 is Extending the Family

This is the first full year in which we are providing medical services at a brand new second site.  The populations that we are serving in this new location come from desperately low income areas in Cite Soleil called Twa Bebe (Three Babies), Limye (Light) and De Site (Two Cities).  These are new clients for Lamp; three new communities that now have access to medical services.  The need for medical services in Port-au-Prince is immense at the present time since all government facilities and most private facilities have been shuttered due to gang incursions and government incapacity, and Lamp is very proud to be expanding its range – Extending the Family! – despite the present challenges.

For our graphic theme, we have chosen to highlight Haitian art.  Haiti is a country with an impressively deep artistic tradition.  The beauty and creativity that this art represents provide a counterweight to the negative tenor of current news on Haiti.  Haiti is a land of beautiful people, who produce beautiful art, and we would like to shine a light on that beauty as well.
