Galette Chambon Health Center

The need for Health Centers in rural Haiti, where travel is difficult, is particularly critical. A local health center can provide education and treatment that is quickly available for everyday medical emergencies. In November of 2020 Haitian Relief Services, with funding from the Servite Sisters (Servants of Mary of Ladysmith, Wisconsin), Ezekiel Lutheran Church and the River Falls, Wisconsin community, began the construction of a Health Center in Galette Chambon Village of Ganthier Commune, Haiti. The Health Center was constructed as a second floor to the orphanage that was completed in 2019. Electrical power for the health center and the orphanage is provided by a solar panel system located on the roof of the two-story building. The two photographs below show the completed Orphanage (1st floor) - Health Center (2nd floor) building, and the solar panel system located on the second-floor roof. In the future we hope to add many more photographs of the Orphanage - Health Center project, but the sociopolitical unrest in addition to COVID has made travel to Haiti impossible for us for the past two years.
