Help Haitian communities recover
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti in August 2021, resulting in more than 2,200 deaths and more than 12,700 injuries. The quake damaged at least 137,500 homes, as well as churches, bridges, piers, and other infrastructure.
Haitians need your help!
Working in Haiti since 2008, Humanity & Inclusion's team is working to help local communities recover and rebuild.

Humanity & Inclusion has responded to numerous natural disasters in Haiti. In the immediate aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, staff rushed to provide emergency rehabilitation, mobility aids and essential supplies — while ensuring an inclusive humanitarian response. Since then, Humanity & Inclusion has continued to work alongside impacted communities through inclusive livelihood projects, rehabilitation and disaster preparedness planning. The award-winning organization's logistics teams also supported a comprehensive response to Hurricane Matthew.
