For months before the covid 19 pandemic, Haiti has been experiencing social unrest and lockdowns that have prevented families from accessing employment or sustenance.
Even before COVID-19, over 4 million people in Haiti were projected to experience hunger and food insecurity in 2020.
We are continuing our economic development work and distribution of food and water in the vulnerable communities of Cite Soleil, La Saline, Tabarre, Wharf Jeremie, and Kenscoff, and importantly, we are also continuing to reinforce local agricultural systems.
Haiti has long struggled to provide reliable public sanitation infrastructure. Our trusted outreach workers are out in the community delivering a message that emphasizes the importance of hand washing and hygiene — now more than ever. St. Luke is distributing bleach disinfectant solution made in our St. Francisville production center to the most vulnerable and densely populated areas of Port-au-Prince.
Social distance is a good medicine, but abandonment, disconnectedness, or human isolation is totally toxic, for everyone involved.
Stay with us.
