In keeping with the AMHE mission of raising health awareness and providing healthcare to the underserved, the AMHE is endeavoring to build a Healthcare clinic in Darbone near Léogane, Haiti. The AMHE was the recipient of a patch of land donated by the Abellard family of Léogane to build the health clinic. The services will focus on key health areas such as: 1) Materno-Infantile care; 2) sickle cell screening; 3) HIV/AIDS prevention and care.

​

The project will be rolled out in 3 phases.
