The Bon Samaritain's Clinic
The mission of le Bon Samaritain founded in 1989 by a Canadian named René Marcotte in the city of Montrouis, a coastal town located in the West Department north of Port-au-Prince.
Since its creation the mission has repaired and built many schools in the region, founded an orphanage and recently erected a two story clinic with a lab and pharmacy. The staff immediately decided to use the clinic as a point of clean water distribution for the patients as well as the population. A filtering system was installed but due to technical difficulties the project had to be terminated.
In early April, René contacted International Action's team and requested help for the purification of the clinic's water. Today, our safe and stable system serves clean drinking water to all the patients of the clinic as well as 43 orphans and the neighboring populations.
International Action also provided the clinic personnel with Albendazole pills to distribute among the population in order to fight off intestinal worms.
