We recently received a donation of a water purifier from Innovative Water Technologies that will make a huge difference for us.

After January 12th, our goal became to restore the health, mobility and independence for some of those most vulnerable.

Throughout a two week evaluation, we were able to access the program's efficacy in the field. We also got a unique perspective on St. Boniface's other programs and services in the 16 communities we visited.

  Having preserved lives in the initial acute phase of care, local and International efforts must now tackle the life-long impairments that remain.

We are distributing food in 42 different communities in Fond des Blancs and Villa, and have reached 7000 young children and 4000 pregnant and lactating women - 11,000 people. 

This week, people have transferred from their beds to their chairs, learned liberating self-care techniques creating a renewed sense of independence, and some have even taken their first few steps.

Beautiful clinic in Villa destroyed.

Families are leaving the city in droves and returning to their family homes in the backcountry.
