The program exists in 38 branches out of 44 throughout Haiti. 78 new CHEs were trained in 2022. 826 CHEs bought inventory to sell and a recent survey of 450 community members revealed that 80 purchased products from CHEs. 92 of products sold by CHEs were baby products or home personal hygiene products. 122 CHEs participated in blood pressure monitoring and 8,586 children were evaluated for malnutrition.
