Right now, the people of Haiti are living through an unimaginable nightmare. Gang violence has overtaken communities, schools have shut down, families are on the run, and hunger is ravaging the country. At the center of this crisis are Haiti’s children—innocent, vulnerable, and enduring the unimaginable.
This is not just a crisis.
This is a catastrophe.
A Nation in Crisis
In recent months, violence and instability have spread across Haiti like wildfire. Children as young as 8 are being forced or coerced into gangs, carrying weapons, and participating in violence they cannot comprehend. Over 700,000 people have been displaced from their homes, left to flee with no place to turn and no safe place to land.
Hunger is everywhere. One in six children in Haiti is facing starvation, and the country teeters on the brink of famine. Hospitals are collapsing under the weight of this crisis, unable to provide life-saving care to those in desperate need—including children and pregnant mothers.
Every day, families wake up in fear—unsure of whether they’ll be able to find food, safety, or even survive.
But Haiti Is More Than Its Pain
While Haiti is in deep suffering, it is also a place of strength, resilience, and beauty. It is a country with rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and a culture full of vibrancy and life.
Yes, its people are hurting.
But they are also hoping.
They are enduring.
They are fighting for a future worth living.
This isn’t just about acknowledging crisis.
It’s about standing with the Haitian people as they fight for the future they deserve.
