In chapter ten in Mountains Beyond Mountains I read about how an organization/charity called the Partners in Health was established. Tom Walker helped create this organization. The purpose of White and Farmer wanting to create this was to support the growing health system around Cange. White made the idea real by hiring a lawyer to draw up the papers and created a charity in Boston. The Partners in Health would solicit and receive contributions, and funnel money, mostly Tom Whites'. He donated up to a million dollars which he called "seed money." Which meant the start of something. Paul Farmer wanted this to really help out Haitian patients with the way they live and their health problems. This was the start of something great.
