Resarch has shown that communities with a high rate of literacy are more prone to preventable and communicable diseases. Another major cause of the prevalence of the aforementioned diseases in Haiti rural communities is poverty. With this scholarship program, HHPN hopes that eduction will help these communities address both poverty and health issues at the same time. |

Haiti Health Professional's Networks aims to assist low-income communities in the US and Haiti in their quest for access to heath care. In the US we prioritize Heal Fair while our main focus in Haiti is to provide its rural communities with access to basic health care through medical mission trips on a regular basis.
In both Haiti and the US, the primary focus of our organization is preventative healthcare education. We believe it is the best approach to improving community health is in a sustaible manner.
