Our students are suffering from severe food insecurity and require urgent humanitarian assistance.
In Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the food supply chain has been shattered by gangs controlling vital infrastructure like the airport, port, and entry roads. As a result, the shelves in shops are nearly bare, and food scarcity is rampant. Inflation is skyrocketing, making even the little food available unaffordable. 4.7 million people in Haiti are facing acute hunger.
The situation is dire for our orphaned young adults who have no one else to turn to. Without immediate assistance, they face the very real threat of starvation.
We urgently need your support to provide these vulnerable individuals with basic essential food items. Your donation will ensure that they have the sustenance they need to survive this crisis.
Please, donate whatever you can today. Every dollar makes a difference and brings us one step closer to preventing hunger and saving lives.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity in this critical time of need.
On behalf of The Kids Connection Haiti Staff and Board of Directors,

Our students have the right to eat. Kids Connection Haiti is committed to distributing emergency food money to every student in our program. This helps purchase essential food items such as rice, beans, oil, and flour. To cover 112 basic food packages, we urgently need to raise $11,200. Any gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, we can help them survive!
Today, we ask you to support the students of Kids Connection Haiti by giving them access to water and food to survive. Your generous contribution will have a profound impact on these young adults' lives.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity! Your gift is saving lives.
