The Koha Project

4,248 pads have been sent to Haiti since our projects first shipment in February of last year. We are so so proud of what’s been achieved and are immensely grateful to our dedicated volunteers!

Happy International Day of the Midwife!

Please join us in sending so much love to our favorites, Katie Augustin and Ms. Shedlene, our incredible partners on the ground in Haiti.

If you’d like to show them some extra support today, please consider purchasing a teeshirt from their fundraising drive! All proceeds go directly to their “Room for Hope” facility. This space is so special, it’s where our packing and manufacturing is being continued locally and where their life changing teen mom program is launching.

It’s been 1 year since we responded to an emergency crisis in the region of Haiti we serve. It was such a scrambled time for our organization that we never had the opportunity to fully share what was happening and what was achieved.

At the time, gang violence in a nearby town forced many families into informal refugee camps in the Central Plateau. They had to flee their homes with nothing but what they could carry on their backs. While we were proud to get 195 kits into their hands, that season really highlighted how difficult it is to respond when our pad supply is limited.

We are grateful to have grown in volunteers since this crisis but we wish to work towards a 3 month stock of pads at all times so we can fulfill emergency needs the moment they arise. (We’re currently a 4 week stock, 210 pads in hand).

So, please keep sewing and tell your friends! Message us to get involved.
