A Voice For Haiti
Since 2010, the Ripple of Hope Initiative continues to be implemented at the Zanmi Beni (Blessed Friends) Orphanage run by RFK/Human Rights Laureate, Loune Viaud and Partners in Health. These children, many of whom were disabled, orphaned, or abused, were living in a single ward at the General Hospital in Port-au-Prince for years. They had been abandoned or had been left at the hospital by parents who were, sadly, unable to care for them.
