Summer 2023



Babies and More Babies!!

They said if we built it, they would come…


Since the opening of Soaring’s Women’s Health & Birth Center (“Sante Fanm” in Haitian Creole) on Jan. 25th, Soaring’s Midwife Staff have safely delivered 25 babies. Additionally, over 200 women have already visited Sante Fanm for prenatal, postpartum, and family planning services. Several women who presented with problem pregnancies or delivery complications were successfully referred to hospital partners according to our protocols.


Executive Director, Pastor Laura Elliott, traveled to Haiti in April and reports that Soaring’s operations at Sante Fanm, as well as at the Clinique Medicale, are going very well.


“We’re thrilled that women are coming to deliver their babies here,” said Rev. Dr. Laura Alexander Elliott, Missionary in Haiti and Executive Director of Soaring Unlimited. “It’s our hope and prayer that Sante Fanm will continue to allow for safer pregnancies and deliveries as well as improve the health and lives of women and their families where we serve in Haiti.”


On May 5th, we celebrated the International Day of the Midwife at Sante Fanm, honoring our midwifery staff, sharing a meal for our entire staff and inviting residents of the community. Included was an informational outreach program conducted by our midwives to discuss their work on behalf of women in the region. Additionally, we have begun training for the screening and treatment of cervical cancer—the leading type of cancer afflicting Haitian women.


Meet our amazing team of midwives!



Vadley, Nerlie and Florence are now conducting prenatal classes, holding vaccination clinics for women and children… and our first mobile maternity clinic was held in May! A Mother’s Club for our women patients and Sex Ed classes for high school students are also planned.


Your dollar counts…. TWICE!



We are thrilled to announce that a major donor has committed to matching every dollar raised up to $10,000… giving you the chance to double your impact.


We are in great need of your financial support to meet the sustainability requirements of our new facility and its staffing, as well as addressing the dramatic increase in patients we are seeing at our original clinic. The Clinique Medicale, our Daily Primary Care Medical Clinic, is now open all 5 weekdays, and patient traffic has increased 4- to 5-fold, averaging 100+ patients per day.


There’s no time to waste… please help make the most of this incredible match challenge by making your gift TODAY.


“’If we build it, they will come,’ is no longer a slogan — it is happening and it is our reality to need to garner significant increases in giving to our organization, in order to maintain the long-term viability of Soaring’s healthcare and other services in Haiti.”

- Rev. Dr. Laura Alexander Elliott, Executive Director, Soaring Unlimited Haiti
