What Mother's Day Looks Like in Petit Trou Today

Today is Mother's Day in Haiti. 

As the COVID-19 curve accelerates, mothers across Petit Trou are responding in the best way they can.

Marie Marthe and the women of the artisan group TiPa TiPa are continuing to sew masks for local distribution. Here she delivers an order of 100.

Suzette, a health worker, is shown here at the clinic picking up Kreyol educational materials about the virus that are now incorporated in her community-based work in the most rural areas.

Wozlo helps her children with a coloring book focused on Coronavirus education.

Rosalyn, also a community health worker, far left, is shown here providing education and distributing hand washing stations to a small group of farmers.

In the coming days we'll share more details on our approach to Coronavirus support in Haiti. Today we celebrate the women doing courageous work in the most challenging conditions. Your recent generosity and solidarity have helped make their work possible. Thank you.

As we confront the turbulence, uncertainty, and tragedy of these days here at home, we take a moment to celebrate the strength of Haiti's mothers and we redouble our commitment to finding the best way to invest in their strength, their families, and their community.

With love and gratitude,

Wynn Walent
Executive Director
