The Batey Relief Alliance
As part of its humanitarian mission, the Batey Relief Alliance carries out programs within the United States to educate the American population about international and humanitarian issues addressed by the organization, and to address the health needs of vulnerable and at-risk immigrant populations living in inner-city neighborhoods.
International Education and Awareness: The Batey Relief Alliance hosts annual international conferences addressing issues of health and HIV/AIDS, human rights, and bilateral relations between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Conferences were held at the United Nations in 2001, Barnard College in 2004, and Columbia University in 2005.
HIV/AIDS Education and Awareness: Funded by the New York State Department of Health-AIDS Institute and sponsored by the office of Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs, the Batey Relief Alliance uses the radio airwaves to reach out to vulnerable and at-risk immigrant communities in Brooklyn to educate about HIV contraction and prevention and techniques to protect against the deadly virus.
