Who We Are
Homeopaths Without Borders is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that believes everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare. Our mission is to introduce and advance the understanding and use of homeopathy in areas where it does not yet exist or is minimally available, as well as to promote and provide homeopathic care and healing in emergency situations. Our goal is to build and maintain partnerships across the Americas to help with medical emergencies and close the most significant health care gaps. We are accomplishing this by extending best practices in homeopathic care and education. Our projects have well-established protocols and support systems; they are replicable, sustainable, and affordable. Upon request, we provide information and resources so that communities may achieve their own sustainable solutions.

On March 28, twelve health professionals received their certificates at an award ceremony in Port Au Prince, Haiti. These students (8 physicians, 3 nurses and one social worker) completed the 90-hour course in the Fundamentals of Homeopathy. Students attended classes taught by Clinical Director, Lauren Fox, FNP-BC, CCH where they learned the art of homeopathic case-taking and the science of homeopathy. Additionally, during each session, these professionals participated in community clinics in hospitals in Port-au-Prince with HWB mentors. Students will continue to work in study groups to expand their knowledge and support each other in their homeopathic casework. We wish these new homeopaths, les félicitations!
