Haiti

1 million internally displaced persons

1 million children in need of emergency food aid, at risk of imminent famine

50% of the population needs humanitarian aid

97,635 people assisted

Haiti is facing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions, marked by growing insecurity, persistent political instability, and a continuing deterioration in living conditions.

In the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area, the situation is particularly alarming due to violence perpetrated by organized criminal groups, which control much of the capital.

This insecurity has led to significant population displacement, forcing thousands of people to seek refuge in informal settlements or abandoned public buildings. To date, 134 camps for displaced persons have been identified in the West Department. In these extremely precarious conditions, internally displaced persons face critical humanitarian needs, including access to water, hygiene, sanitation, healthcare, nutrition, and protection. The ongoing instability in the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area has been exacerbated by conflicts of unprecedented intensity since November 17, 2024, causing further mass displacement. Since January 2025, the situation has continued to deteriorate.

As a major player in the water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) response in the country, the organization has acquired significant experience in emergency response for vulnerable populations, displaced persons, and host communities over the past 10 years. Since the security and humanitarian crisis intensified in February 2024, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL has been actively responding to the needs of displaced populations across the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area, providing essential WASH services, as well as food security, nutrition, and protection.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is thus helping to improve access to drinking water and sanitation infrastructure and prevent waterborne diseases. In 2024, the association also set up school canteens, enabling schoolchildren to have access to healthy and nutritious meals through the school.
