Despite the complex socio-economic and political situation, Save the Children remains concerned about the critical humanitarian crisis in Haiti as it continues its efforts on building and responding with a strategic and flexible programming that manage risk (Strengthened safety, security and business continuity plans and ensure a quality delivery (localization scale-up- delivering through partners who have local knowledge and access to some of the hardest-to-reach communities) of the Haiti’ Strategic Plan.

In Haiti, the humanitarian crisis is exacerbating the vulnerability of children. Uprooted and deprived of their fundamental rights, they are the first victims of violence and insecurity. Protecting children means offering them a future, and preserving hope for an entire country. Every child has the right to a safe childhood, to an education, to protection against all forms of violence. It's our collective responsibility to help them.

The traumas experienced by Haitian children today will mark a whole generation. Deprived of their childhood, they risk becoming tomorrow's adults, carrying deep psychological scars. Investing in child protection means preventing future conflicts and building a more stable, peaceful future for Haiti.

The crisis in Haiti transcends national borders. The international community has an essential role to play in protecting children. By supporting humanitarian organizations and setting up emergency aid programs, with the support of international partners and donors, Save the Children is providing vital support to the most vulnerable children and helping to build a better future for Haiti.
