How do we work?

Community Education

By nurturing relationships with community leaders and community service organizations, we are dedicated to offering live-saving education classes, including First Aid, CPR, and AED education and skills training. Course formats align with Red Cross or American Heart Association. Our manikins offer real-time advanced visual feedback for improved skills development.

Translation & Interpretation Services

Rapid translation and interpretation is vital to reach every individual in communities during disasters. We provide some ready-translated messages community leaders and service organizations may use to aid their residents.

We deploy volunteers to disaster areas to work with community leaders and provide real-time interpretation of media messages, news releases, social media messages.

Our volunteers also deploy with partner nonprofit organizations, such as Red Cross, Children's Disaster Services, Samaritan's Purse, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief to aid in real-time interpretation in the field one-on-one with individuals.

Partnering with Local Communities

To make a lasting impact, we know that we must actively engage and include the communities we are seeking to help. We are continually learning and growing in how we show up as an authentic, ethical partner.

Our goal is to help local communities build self-sustainability and be well-prepared for emergencies and disasters with focus on bridging language gaps and barriers.

Shaped by decades of experience within Haiti's communities and with its educators, we affect change by bringing together real-world solutions, policy expertise, sustainable financing and collaborative partnerships.
