Haiti is a Caribbean country facing a longstanding humanitarian crisis, due to its extreme poverty, poor infrastructure and lack of resources. The situation is further exacerbated by natural disasters and political instability, as seen in the 2010 earthquake. The COVID-19 pandemic also increases the vulnerability of the population, adding an economic and health crisis on top of pre-existing humanitarian crisis. HHRD has been in the region since 2010, offering immediate humanitarian relief and long-term development projects.

HHRD immediately launched its Haiti Earthquake Emergency Relief fund to assist with food, water, shelter and medicine in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Our Global Zabiha, Seasonal, Healthcare, Orphan Support, Water for Life, Skills Development and Shelter Village programs have provided upliftment to the people of Haiti. Furthermore, our Youth for Haiti program has allowed countless college students the opportunity to witness first-hand the humanitarian efforts of HHRD.
