Days after the Haitian earthquake we funded a grant to Partners in Health, a NGO which has been running hospitals and clinics in Haiti for 25 years. These monies have aided both the emergency response and longer term aid for this tragedy stricken island.
Source of Hope, through the NGO Millennium Promise, is supporting health clinics in Malawi and Uganda. Located in villages previously without significant health care, the clinics provide HIV testing and treatment, medications for malaria, diarrhea, respiratory diseases and numerous other ailments. The clinics also provide pre and post natal care, as well as child delivery services.
We are supporting a program in southern Ethiopia with the NGO Mercy Corps. The project will improve the well being of families by providing better education and health assistance. It will also create economic opportunities for families, especially women, through microfinancing.
Source of Hope has been a long time supporter of Henry Street Settlement, a social service agency that offers a wide range of programs to benefit the urban poor in the lower east side of New York City. We have enhanced the housing residence for battered women and their children by improving the facilities and creating a computer room and a playroom for youngsters.
