FHM's primary mission is to support Haitian communities in their efforts

to build and sustain healthy families

Our hope is that by building healthy families, we build healthy communities
which in turn build a better tomorrow for the people of Haiti

A message from FHM's founder and board chairman, David Walmer, MD, PhD:

We pursue the dream of building healthy families, healthy communities, and a better tomorrow by developing long-term relationships with people and communities 'in need'.  Of course, true relationships do not develop until we take the time to listen and learn.  Once we become friends who trust and care about one another, we gain insights into each other's needs, hopes and desires. 

Our work is directed by the goals of each community and implemented by the local people who are motivated to see their own lives improve.  Often the most important thing that we give each other is honor and respect.

This strategy has given us insights into the meaning of God's greatest commandment (Matthew 22: 37-39) and our daily lives become enriched in ways that we never dreamed possible.    

Paradoxically, we have learned that when we love our neighbors as ourselves... even when our plans don't work out... that God's plan ensures that our relationships grow in confidence and trust... and then real progress begins.

We invite you to join us and discover that wealth and happiness do not come from self-centered goals; instead they comes from caring, other-centered, long-term relationships.  Volunteer.
