Healing Haiti One Bus at a Time

We need your help. Please consider a donation this holiday season.

A project of the Healing Haiti Fund, SantéBus brings mobile medical clinics and transportation to the regions of Haiti most in need of help. SantéBus, which is French for “Health bus”, gives new life to retired American school buses. If you are with a medical group in Haiti and need a SantéBus to transport medical teams, patients, or supplies please contact us. SantéBus aims to improve the lives and livelihoods of the impoverished people of Haiti through accessible, mobile medical services and through partnership with the communities we serve.
