Haiti is a symphony of strength and struggle. Its vibrant markets pulse with konpa music, its beaches shimmer under Caribbean skies, and its people carry a cultural heritage forged through history’s trials. Yet, Haiti faces daunting challenges. As the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation, it grapples with a fragile healthcare system, battered by political instability, natural disasters, and infrastructure deficits. Rural communities lack clean water (66.0%, 2023) and sanitation (35.0%, 2023), fueling cholera and infectious diseases. Women and children bear the heaviest burdens, with limited access to care amid ongoing crises.
Since 2013, International Medical Aid has partnered with Haitian communities to bring hope through healthcare. Our mobile clinics deliver urgent care, our sanitation projects combat cholera, and our mental health initiatives heal trauma. Rooted in the academic excellence of Johns Hopkins University, we collaborate with Haitian clinicians, community leaders, and families to create sustainable solutions. Though our internship program is currently suspended due to the political climate, we remain committed to Haiti’s future, planning to resume as soon as conditions allow. As a future IMA intern, you’ll join this mission, gaining unparalleled experience while helping Haiti rise.
