Bon Sante Ayiti is a Boston-based nonprofit health care organization founded in 2019 to provide medical services in and around the city of Jeremie Haiti.
Founder
James Pelham
‘I want to change the perception of Haiti and it’s going to start small and slowly, but will compound. The negative narratives will be replaced with chronicles of health and balance as well as respect. These changes are going to be driven by treating and educating the women and children of the society. We need to make healthcare, basic healthcare including immunizations more accessible to regions outside of the capital. Mobile clinics are the solution for our initiative because remote mountainous populated areas do not have standalone hospitals or clinics. '

‘I am passionate about women’s health issues as they relate to maternal health, reproductive health, and global health. My goal is to always strive to empower women to achieve a healthier life. I participated in many medical missions to provide gynecologic care and education to women in underserved communities of Cameroon and Ghana.
Recently, my work has focused on raising awareness on the cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic dynamics that influence health care disparities’.
