A New Hampshire nurse working at a Christian ministry in Haiti and her child were kidnapped from their campus Thursday morning, the ministry reported in a statement Saturday.
“We can confirm that Alix Dorsainvil, our Director’s wife, and their child were kidnapped on the morning of Thursday, July 27th from our campus near Port au Prince while serving in our community ministry,” El Roi Haiti Outreach International wrote in the statement posted to their website.
Dorsainvil, 31, works as the community health nurse with El Roi, which includes a K-12 school and several ministry programs, according to the organization’s website.
El Roi originally reported the kidnapping of an unnamed staff member on Friday. In the Saturday update, they said they are working with “partners and trusted relationships to secure their safe return.”
“We are aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” a State Department spokesperson said in response to an inquiry on the kidnapping Sunday.
