Why This Matters
Partners in Health is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grantee working to improve infant and maternal care and reduce infant and maternal mortality in Haiti. Through comprehensive clinical services, production of ready-to-use therapeutic food, data collection and early identification of high-risk pregnancies, Partners in Health is helping more children and families in Haiti thrive.
At the Foundation, we are saddened by the escalating economic, political and social strains experienced by families in Haiti. Read our March 2019 statement reaffirming our commitment to ensuring children and families have access to quality education, quality infant and maternal care and income generating activities that will make them more financially secure.
