Currently, Haitian families are confronting severe challenges from food shortages to extreme threats of violence.
As we think carefully about how to respond to the crisis in Haiti, we want to be sure to do it well. Our focus must be on helping families stay together and ensuring children are provided for and safe. This includes using caution, prioritizing children in families, considering short-term and long-term giving impact, and continuing to donate or increase giving if possible. We encourage you to review the U.S. Department of State’s Helping Haiti’s Vulnerable Children guidance on how to best support children and families.
Even during this crisis, the organizations below are responding to the needs of these vulnerable children and working closely with national authorities to support the reunification of children separated from their families and placed in residential care. To help families in Haiti during this critical time, consider supporting any of the following organizations.
