Haiti

Why are we in Haiti? Haiti is currently in the middle of an ever-intensifying humanitarian crisis that includes political instability, widespread violence, displacement, natural disasters, and extreme hunger. As the situation continues to deteriorate, half of the country’s population requires humanitarian assistance.

1 in 2 Haitians require humanitarian assistance in 2025

The ongoing crisis in Haiti has had several headline moments over the last six years: the resignation of the prime minister in 2024, attacks by armed groups on strategic institutions (including airports, prisons, and hospitals), and recent escalations of violence across the country — including attacks on towns far from the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

However, there is much more at stake beyond the headlines. A weakened infrastructure and political instability have left many hospitals and clinics out of service, while diseases like cholera spread at a rapid rate and hunger levels reach new heights. The burden of this crisis — and those that came before it — is being felt by Haiti’s most vulnerable citizens. 6 million Haitians, roughly half of the country’s population, will require humanitarian assistance in 2025 according to the UN.

Despite these ongoing challenges, Concern Haiti has adapted its work and approaches to provide a lifeline of support when it’s most needed.
