ROSE CHARITIES USA
Haitian Emergency Response
Rose Charities sent its first medical team, five days after the earthquake. Rapidly followed by four more teams. We work with local parteners ensuring that help goes to where it is needed. The teams included: surgical teams to St.Marc and Gonaives in the North and a Pediatric team to Port Au Prince.
We are developing a long term pediatric care project in conjunction with the Haitian Pediatric Association and other partners. The project will include physical rehabilitation and counselling.
Community Based Projects
Rose Charities NY Inc. supports community-based projects in 9 developing countries. Our particular focus is projects that assist children, young adults and families in USA, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
All the projects are different but all have the same essential components:
- dedicated local leadership
- support from the community with many local volunteers
- an ability to stretch a small budget to achieve big results
