News from Les Cayes
Since the earthquake of August 14 and ongoing tropical storms, HWB-trained Haitian homeopaths have answered the call. They travel by whatever means available to the towns in the Les Cayes region to set up mobile clinics, helping those in need. Small but nimble teams of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and Homéopathes Communataires treat upwards of 60-70 people a day at clinics which rotate from village to town. Follow up clinics are also integrated into the schedule to address ongoing medical care including psychological needs.
Because of YOUR support, the Haitian homeopaths were some of the first onsite after the earthquake and hurricane and they continue their work today.
These generous practitioners provide essential medical care for fractures, wounds, trauma and shock, as well as the after effects of life with poor quality drinking water and limited food.
Donate today so that the Haitian Homeopathic Teams can continue to provide urgent care.

HWB - Our Mission
We are a non-profit organization advancing the understanding and use of homeopathy by providing care in emergency situations, reaching out to communities through mobile health clinics, and teaching health professionals how to incorporate homeopathy into their practice.
HWB continues to focus on community and supporting good health despite challenges this past year due to the pandemic. This summer, the first of HWB’s Community-partnered clinics launched with the nonprofit organization, Nibezun. Nibezun serves the Wabanaki confederacy of the tribal nations of Maine.
The clinic is staffed by volunteer homeopaths from Maine, with clinical direction from HWB’s Lauren Fox, FNP-BC, CCH.
For many indigenous people, health is very much related to family, to community, and to nature as well as physical wellbeing. HWB is excited to initiate the first HWB Community-partnered clinic in the continental United States.

What people are saying
"When the class started I found it difficult and doubted that I would get results. But when I started using the medicines, I found they were really efficient. Haiti needs homeopathy. The medicines work and cost so little."
