Founded in 2009, this nonprofit community health organization addresses the health concerns of the residents of Fonfrede by promoting school-based health programs and preventive health care. They rely on their volunteers in Haiti and overseas to achieve productivity in their services and their trainings. According to CapraCare, they stand as the only Haitian non-governmental organization located within Fonfrede to address the lack of access to any preventive care and to any other medical facility in the city. Everyone has access to their services regardless of their ability to pay. Their extensive programs help the community at large to overcome the physical, psychosocial and environmental needs that arise from the difficult living conditions in Haiti. CapraCare has a mission to stay efficient in their operations by collaborating with other medical facilities and health care providers to solve issues faced by the people of Fonfrede.

Currently, CapraCare provides services to approximately 1,500 people annually. They welcome anyone interested in volunteering their pro-bono services in the areas of grant writing, marketing, fundraising, resource developing and Haitian Creole translation to send an inquiry to info@capracare.org.
