On August 14th, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the southern region of Haiti, causing deaths, injuries, and severe damage to homes, schools, and important community infrastructure. The recent disaster comes after an extremely challenging few years for Haitian families who have endured political and civil unrest, food, water, and economic insecurity, in addition to the recent outbreak of COVID-19. For the past 32 years, Hope for Haiti has been working in southern Haiti to resource and empower local leaders and support systems of education, healthcare, access to clean water, and economic opportunity. We currently have 62 full time Haitian team members who call Les Cayes home, and who serve as the key leaders in the implementation of our strategic plan. The news of yet another natural disaster is devastating, and our team stands ready and uniquely qualified to respond to the immediate, short-term, and long-term needs of the Haitian people in the aftermath of the 2021 Earthquake.
