Mission

The mission of LifePaths Global Alliance is to support communities in Haiti by delivering essential services such as healthcare and education. A key component of their work involves operating telemedicine clinics in rural areas of Haiti, specifically in the communities of L’Estere and Duchity. These clinics provide free patient care and medication, having successfully treated over 50,000 rural Haitians[4].

Programs

• Telemedicine Clinics: LifePaths Global Alliance operates telemedicine clinics to bring healthcare to remote regions of Haiti. These clinics are staffed by 100% Haitian medical doctors and telemedicine assistants, ensuring consistent primary care for local communities[4].

• Physical Therapy for Earthquake Victims: The organization has been involved in missions to provide physical therapy to victims of earthquakes in Haiti. Additionally, they have produced documentaries to raise awareness about the challenges faced by these victims[2][3].

• Economic Development Initiatives: LifePaths Global Alliance has established various economic development projects, including an Internet Cafe and Business Centre, a boutique and artist studio, as well as rice field developments in the communities they serve[4].

• Child Sponsorship Program: To address the issue of over half of Haiti’s school-aged children not attending school, LifePaths offers a child sponsorship program. This program allows Canadians to sponsor children, providing financial support for education and food for their families[1][4].

• Haiti Rise Up Concert: The organization hosts an annual concert to commemorate the anniversary of the devastating earthquake and honor those affected[4].

Partnerships and Sponsorships

LifePaths Global Alliance collaborates with various partners, including pre-med students and organizations like Physical Relief, which sponsors their telemedicine efforts[5]. These partnerships have been instrumental in expanding their services and reaching more communities in Haiti.
