Lavi Project Inc.
Empowering the people of Haiti with life, hope, and vision
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Haiti has many people who are not receiving basic medical needs, life threatening medical needs and nutritional needs. Lavi Project is structured to serve thousands of people who may never have the means to attain these services and provisions. Medical disparity effects 85-95% of Haitians. Lavi’s framework is to deploy mobile clinics to create opportunities for Haitians to receive medical care who are otherwise unable to travel and access medical care.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Lavi Projects top three goals:
- Treat illnesses and community acquired diseases in remote areas
- Create and support sustainable work projects to fight food disparity and hunger
- Eliminate educational and financial poverty
Lavi Project aims to help provide acute medical and nutritional needs as well as establish a long lasting medical presence in Haiti.
Lavi Project aims to have a physical address and corporate presence in Haiti.
Lavi Project aims to be financially established to pay both full-time and part-time salaries.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Lavi Project currently deploys several medical teams annually that serve Haiti with mobile clinics. These clinics are staffed with professional medical personnel and volunteers. Each clinic is equipped with supplies, medicines, nutritional supplements, and relevant educational materials.
Lavi Project is pursuing relationships with Haitian medical professionals to partner with medical clinics in the country. Our aim is to partner with and support these clinics so that they can provide services to a greater number of Haitians with ongoing medical support. (Our plan is to see these clinics reach full potential capacity.)
Lavi Project Board of Directors is actively engaged in raising awareness of the organization both in-country and stateside.
In-country strategy: continue to send multiple medical teams annually as well as teams for sustainable work projects.
Stateside strategies:
Increase donor base for funding projects, clinics, and staffing with both one-time gifts and ongoing support.
Engaging the Haitian diaspora, creating opportunities for them to support improvement and change for their home country, and creating partnerships with organizations focusing on Haitian diaspora within the U.S.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Lavi Project is a non-profit 501c3 organization with an amazingly active Board of Directors that is working to accomplish identified goals and future growth.
Lavi Project Board of Directors has been carefully chosen and vetted to bring the most critical skill sets to the organization.
Lavi Project is committed to having fiscal integrity and transparency.
Lavi currently has infrastructure established to mobilize several teams each year from the U.S. Lavi has an established Haitian partnership that provides a mobilization center, office, storage, and boarding while teams are in Haiti. Lavi has several connections to community leaders and is actively providing clinics to thousands of Haitians within these communities.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Lavi Project is a legal 501c3 not for profit organization
- Over 14,000 volunteer hours on clinics and projects
- Over 20,000 US Dollars’ worth of medicine distributed
- Over 7,000 Haitians helped with health and medical needs
- Over 350,000 US dollars invested on the ground in Haiti
In summary, Lavi Project will, over the next 3-5 years, dramatically increase its presence in Haiti. This will include increasing medical providers, its volunteer base, and the private donor and corporate funding base. This increase will result in serving and treating 5,000-6,000 patients per year (an increase of 500% from current standing).
