Gambade Clinic

Gambade is a 20,000 people community in Northern Haiti.  It spreads along and across the Grande Rivière du Nord river and in the surrounding mountains on either side of the river. 

In 2012 two members from Compass Point Bible Church,  Burlington met with local community leaders and learned about their vision for a permanent clinic in Gambade. They openly shared their biggest challenge, the many deaths of pregnant women and their newborns and the absence of basic health care.

Their stories were relayed to the congregants of Compass Point Bible Church. They were moved by the challenges and determination of the Gambade villagers. The ‘Together with Haïti’ group was formed.

Several planning and relationship building trips with the Gambade community took place annually from 2012 – 2015. The community pledged to contribute with whatever they have; giving them a sense of ownership as well as partnership in generosity.

Also, two land-owners, members of the community donated two adjacent pieces of property large enough to build the planned Clinic. The community and the other partners were encouraged by this significant gesture by two of its members.
