"...The most imortant thing I learned is this thing that is still surprising when I tell other people, which is, that as you improve health in a society, population growth goes down."

Haiti Continues To Need Your Help

February 19th, 2010

Yes, we did get an emergency container shipped to Haiti.  Yes, it has arrived.  Yes, it was greatly needed.  Yes, it was greatly appreciated.  And, Yes, Haiti needs continued support and will need our help for a very long time. 

We need to send another container as soon as we can.  We need donations for medicines and shipping costs.  Dr. Johnson, with Missions of Love, is in Haiti.  He told me that ‘Port Au Prince is a city which has become a living Hell, where tens of thousands of persons are roaming the streets without homes, food, drink or clothing in anything near adequate amounts for their survival. Tons of food, water, medicine, are still sitting on the tarmac of the hopelessly clogged international airport where the UN, Red Cross, US Army, and other relief groups seem somehow to be milling about with the right hand never knowing what the left is doing. I’ve been there trying to find food and water for one of the tent cities near where we are staying that have received NOTHING, and many of them are nearly starved. It is frustrating to all of us beyond measure.’ 

The needy children in Haiti need our help.  Please help us help them.  Any donation will help us send another container as soon as we can.

Essential medicines to help needy children

The Lucress Watson and Dick Watson Children's Foundation is dedicated to bringing essential medicines and supplies to the very poorest needy children in the world.

We've created a remarkable, cost-efficient program to deliver health care through local organizations to some of the most remote places on earth, so that more needy children can grow up in good health.

Our goal ...

Our goal is to help needy children by bringing a steady supply of essential medicines to children who don't have ready access to modern medical care -- needy kids who live in extremely remote rural areas.
