Hunger in Haiti
A staggering 44 percent of Haiti’s total population is acutely food insecure. Families are being forced to abandon their homes and farms to flee the escalated violence.
Families, especially women, children, and the elderly, who are facing emergency levels of food insecurity need immediate aid to avoid slipping into a hunger catastrophe.
Haiti needs more than boots on the ground to build a peaceful and prosperous future for its people; the country will never be at peace when nearly half its population is starving.
You can make a difference
The crisis in Haiti requires long-term solutions that address the root causes of hunger and help to build lasting peace and security for the Haitian people. WFP has a five-year roadmap to tackle hunger in Haiti, through engaging local farmers, providing cash transfers that stimulate the local economy, and by building social safety nets that boost families’ resistance to shocks.
WFP is already stretched thin in Haiti. Your gift of kindness will help provide hope for families facing crisis levels of hunger.
