Haiti

1.4 million internally displaced persons

3.5 million people in need of assistance in terms of access to water, hygiene and sanitation

5.9 million people in need of food aid

83,963 people assisted

Haiti is currently facing repeated natural disasters as well as a convergence of deep socio-political, security and humanitarian crises.

These combined crises have left the population in a highly vulnerable situation.

The situation in the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area is particularly alarming due to the violence perpetrated by organized crime groups, which control almost 90% of the capital. This has led to significant population displacement, with thousands of people forced to seek refuge in informal camps or disused public buildings. In these extremely precarious conditions, internally displaced people are facing critical humanitarian challenges.

The need for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is among the most urgent, as unsanitary living conditions facilitate the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera. Similarly urgent are the needs for access to healthcare, nutrition and protection.

In this dramatic context, the expansion of territorial control of armed groups has had repercussions in other regions of the country, with increased expansion in the departments of Artibonite and Centre, also leading to population movements in these already tense regions.

In Haiti, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL supports populations affected by multiple and simultaneous crises. A key player in the response to access to water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) in the country, the organization has acquired significant experience in emergency intervention.

In the context of an intensifying multidimensional crisis, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is responding actively to the needs of the displaced population across the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area by providing essential WASH services and improving food security and nutrition.  

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL thus contributes to improving access to drinking water, sanitation infrastructure, as well as preventing waterborne diseases such as cholera. In 2025, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL also continued its work screening malnourished children and running a school canteen programme, providing schoolchildren with access to healthy, nutritious meals.
