Haiti Crisis Relief Fund

What's Happening and How to Help

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like these. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges.

The projects listed below are led by vetted GlobalGiving partners responding to this disaster. You can donate directly to a specific project or to GlobalGiving’s Haiti Crisis Relief Fund and we'll allocate it to where it's needed most. GlobalGiving will post reports about how your donation has been put to use.

Help Haitian Midwives STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!
Midwives, as trusted health care professionals, play a critical role in supporting and caring for survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). They are often the only care provider that a woman will seek care from in her lifetime. To improve and support their skills in providing trauma-informed care to survivors, FAHM will provide 4-day training for 50 Haitian midwives, interactive live webinars for 200 midwives, outreach and education to 200 youth and ongoing public awareness campaigns.
Free, Educate, and Empower Girls in Haiti
Right now, one in six girls in Haiti is enslaved, one in four is sexually abused, and just one in three completes primary school and starts high school. You can change this. Your gift will support work with communities to end child slavery, which disproportionately traps girls; improve girls' access to educational opportunities and make schools safer; expand efforts proven to prevent violence against girls and women, and; mobilize everyone to balance power between women, men, and girls and boys.
Help Families Grow their Own Food in Rural Haiti
Help Lambi Fund of Haiti expand sustainable agriculture projects to help rural communities feed their families and increase incomes.
180 Scholarships for Vocational Training in Haiti
This project will provide scholarship funds to 180 men and women to be certified through Extollo's vocational training programs in Welding, Masonry, Concrete, or Electric. Graduates can use their training to find jobs in the construction industry and on average earn 2x more than they did before being trained.
Haiti Crisis Relief Fund
Millions of Haitians are confronting a complex crisis driven by political and economic turmoil, leading to widespread violence and food and water scarcity. Haiti is also struggling to recover from and prepare for hurricanes and earthquakes. Your donation to the Haiti Crisis Relief Fund will provide emergency assistance to people in need and support long-term response efforts led by local organizations who continue to deliver vital services.
Construction Phase 1 for Haiti Leadership Center
We are helping our partner in Haiti, Rasin Devlopman, build a permanent community leadership and development center on the island of La Gonave. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we've already raised the money to purchase the land, hire the architect, and drill a well. Now, we are raising money for the first phase of construction! Money raised on Global Giving will go towards "Building D" of the Center, which includes a veranda, reception area, and office space for staff.
Employment Support for Extollo Alumni in Haiti
The new Alumni Program will create a support network for graduates to continue to sharpen their skills, gain access to job opportunities, and grow in their professional lives through leadership development, financial management, and character development. The Alumni Program provides crucial support for Haitian men and women building a career that can lead them out of the inter-generational cycle of poverty.
Provide food packages and drinking water in Haiti
The humanitarian situation in Haiti is deteriorating day by day due to a spiral of violence and the deterioration of humanitarian needs in Haiti is unprecedented, more than 3 million people are affected. More than 50% of the population faces food insecurity. 1.4 million people are at risk of famine according to the World Food Program (WFP). To be able to provide emergency support on the ground. We are appealing for donations to provide support to those affected.
Support LFBS through the Haiti Humanitarian Crisis
As Haiti endures one of the most challenging periods in recent history, we are seeing a dramatic increase in the level of vulnerability of the children and we work with due to insecurity and gang activity, inflation, supply shortages, and the cost of living, all which make it difficult for people to survive. As levels of vulnerability increase, we need your help. Your support enables us to meet these escalating needs, both during this difficult period and for the long term.
Hurricane Preparedness at St. Boniface Hospital
At Health Equity International (HEI, formerly SBHF), we give patients the care they need and deserve, even in times of crisis. That's why we're making sure St. Boniface Hospital (SBH) is prepared for hurricane season. Although the coming months may bring floods, power outages, and road blocks, HEI will keep our doors open, no matter what, serving a population of 2.3 million. Your support will help HEI prepare for its role as a center of care and disaster relief for the people of southern Haiti.
Empowering Women in Haitian Construction
In Haiti, involving women in construction is crucial for fostering gender equality, diversifying skills, and promoting empowerment. Encouraging their participation not only broadens the talent pool but also sparks innovation, leading to a more inclusive society. Women in construction act as catalysts for economic growth, creating opportunities for skill development and job creation, ultimately contributing to a resilient and sustainable industry that benefits the entire nation.
Hope and Solidarity 4 Haiti!
In Creole, we say "Lespwa fe viv". Hope keeps us living. The situation in Haiti is catastrophic. The focus of the media has been on the worst of Haiti. Our organization focuses on its best. Cholera is back with a vengeance, help us save lives. Hunger is a reality more than half of Haitians. Help us increase small farmers 'agricultural production.

We are also activating our Mobile Medical Clinic to serve displaced persons and serving 13 orphanages!
Haiti Earthquake Relief
In August 2021, a 7.2 earthquake rocked Haiti, devastating cities, destroying homes and infrastructure, and burying people in the rubble of collapsed buildings. This earthquake was stronger than the 2010 earthquake, which resulted in more than 200,000 casualties. We have been working in Haiti since 1997, and is responding immediately with emergency support, while also planning for a longer-term response. A gift will enable us to support relief efforts like this around the world.
Restoring Hope and Mobility in Southern Haiti
Fondation Tous Ensemble's Prosthetics and Orthotics Lab in Les Cayes is the only active facility serving all southern departments, reaching over 2 million people. With growing needs due to the 2021 earthquake and limited healthcare access, the lab offers essential prosthetics, therapy, education, and counseling. This holistic approach helps people with disabilities restore mobility, regain independence, and rebuild their lives, providing a critical lifeline in a region with few resources.
Haiti Crisis Relief
Amidst the turmoil gripping Haiti, Hope for Haiti's Children stands ready to extend a lifeline to those in desperate need. Gangs reign with impunity, leaving streets fraught with danger, while hunger and fear haunt every corner. In response, we've devised a crisis relief plan to provide vital sustenance to those facing starvation, through carefully orchestrated food distributions. Let's stand in solidarity with the people of Haiti, demonstrating compassion and generosity in their hour of need.
Saving Orphans from Cholera Outbreak
We have a critically urgent situation developing as 7 orphans in 2 of our HRI supported orphanages in Haiti have contracted CHOLERA, a preventable albeit very deadly disease. With 122 children in one of the orphanages alone, this situation is devastating. We urgently need to hire an additional few nurses to provide immediate prevention programs and services not only to this orphanage, but for more than 400 children in 13 HRI supported orphanages for a minimum of three months.
Electricity for >2000 people in rural Haiti
Help us restore vital electricity service to rural Haiti's small fishing town of Tiburon. The solar-powered grid was established in 2019 and delivered reliable electricity to over 2000 people for 4 years before suffering a fire. Fixing and replacing the equipment at the site of the fire and upgrading the batteries will get the power flowing again.
Help Mountain Community Prep for Disasters
The Emergency Response Initiative will formally educate & train a mountain community with 600 families, who have acted as first responders to natural disasters, seasonal hurricanes & pandemics. The vulnerable community is isolated. The community must create a plan that includes a structure to store secured shovels, rain gear, go bags, training materials, care packages & emergency response packets to ensure the community's readiness & efficiency when disasters hit.
Provide Crisis Medical and Primary Care in Haiti
Partners in Development (PID) has been working in Haiti since 1990 and providing free medical care in our clinic to the community in Port-au-Prince since 2002. The clinic provides doctor consultations, labs, medicine, and wound care, as well as education programs for diabetic, hypertensive, sickle cell, and prenatal patients. All services are entirely free to ensure even the poorest families can have access to quality medical care.

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
