Child Health

Children under the age of five face multiple obstacles, including birth injuries, infectous diseases, malnutrition, home invironments that lack intellectual stimulation, and environments with polluted water and air.  neonatal mortality has persisted and currently 38 percent of all deaths(4 million) occur during the first month of life.  John Leininger spends his time to train the health care promoters and care for the children in each of these villages so this program will be successful.  The picture shows the first supply of medicines that he recieved this year.  We will supply this program each year with children’s medicines for the over 27,000 children that Harvest International is serving in Haiti.
