Our Holistic Approach

We not only strive to operate an inpatient center that allows children to have a full recovery from malnutrition, but we operate several sustainable wrap-around programs to ensure lasting recovery.

FOLLOW-UP PROGRAM

Children are seen for routine check-ups after graduating from inpatient to track continued growth and well-being.

FORMULA PROGRAM

Babies under the age of one are provided formula when necessary for survival.

SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS

Yearly stipends are provided for school-aged students to ensure access to education.

Coalition Members

Enable children like Wilson to receive acute impatient treatment as soon as they arrive.

Wilson, came to Middle Ground malnourished and fragile at 12 years old.

He gained more than 11 pounds in just 45 days while his family completed health education, essential to disrupting the cycle of malnutrition.

Coalition members make these miraculous transformations possible.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

2025 unfolded amid relentless uncertainty in Haiti. The year opened with violent attacks in the Kenscoff community, impacting many families that we serve through our programs. Emergency plans were quietly put into place in the case we would need to evacuate staff and patients; thankfully they never needed to be used. The needs have never felt greater, yet within our small clinic, hope continues to beat steadily. Lives are being restored. We mourn the lives lost (children who simply arrived too late). But even in grief, we bear witness to many victories. Every recovery is a testament to perseverance and compassion. Our staff stand unwavering on the front lines. It is an honor to stand beside them…
