Care 2 Communities Inc.

CARE 2 COMMUNITIES, INC. (C2C) IS CREATING A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE, COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTHCARE IN HAITI THAT TRANSFORMS THE STATUS QUO, MEETS THE NEEDS OF POOR AND LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, AND EMPOWERS FAMILIES TO LEAD HEALTHIER LIVES.

Our vision is a world where vulnerable families have access to sustainable, high-quality health care

Goal One: To ensure that communities and families most in need are able to access high-quality health services

Goal Two: To improve health outcomes for local communities by treating illness, preventing disease, and addressing the most urgent local health threats


Goal Three: To create viable social businesses that ensure health services to a community in perpetuity

Due many challenges we faced in 2020, we have chosen to primarily focus on quality over quantity, which also means that we have pivoted our “center of gravity” to Haiti. Rather than having our executive leadership in the United States, we have promoted Racha Yehia, who was formerly C2C’s Director of Operations in Haiti, to Managing Director. We are confident in Racha’s ability to steer the organization and are excited to continue to grow under her steady leadership. With now 100 staff in Haiti, we felt this was the right move to make at this time.

With the COVID-19 pandemic creating a lasting global crisis, little international support has been available for Haiti. Care 2 Communities is responding to COVID-19 at the clinic and community levels and working closely with Haiti’s Ministry of Health to collaborate and coordinate our operational plans. Our main goals are to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus infection in our region of Northern Haiti and treat any patient suspected of having the virus. Haiti’s healthcare system is significantly under-resourced and under-capacitated and the government does not have the means to adequately respond to the pandemic on its own. As C2C is the primary partner of the Ministry of Health in the north of Haiti, health officials have relied greatly on our organization to slow the spread of the virus, mainly through community education activities. However, with so much of our focus on responding to the pandemic and ensuring the sustainability of our organization, we have delayed the opening of any new clinics until the pandemic is under control. That said, we also do not want to lose the strong momentum we have established and as such, C2C’s staff and Board of Directors are currently working on finalizing a three year strategic plan with a goal of continuing to scale across Haiti to reach a total of 25+ clinics by the end of 2023. Of course, our ambitious plans for further clinic expansion will be reliant on the continued success (and expansion of) our fundraising efforts, so we are very grateful for the generous, continued support of individual donors and grants and truly value our long partnership in seeking sustainable scale and impact throughout Haiti.
