Last spring, violence in Haiti increased as an alliance of armed gangs took control of much of the country. These gangs forced the closure of airports, ports and many roads in and around the capital city of Port-au-Prince. A new prime minister was elected in November 2024, promising to bring peace and additional Kenyan police forces arrived in Haiti this February to fight gang members.
ERDO supports The Fortress School in Port-au-Prince, where over 700 children attend, including 583 ChildCARE Plus sponsored children.
Our global worker, Louise Charbonneau, is back in Haiti running the child sponsorship program, which includes feeding hundred of children each week. The rest of our team in Haiti is safe. They continue to carefully provide leadership and care for the community. All our sponsored children are safe and currently attending their classes.
We want to assure you, even though Haiti is in a state of continued unrest, our sponsored children are safe and being cared for.
Thank you for continuing to support and pray for families in Haiti. Your sponsorship means the world to these families, who recognize your prayers in these difficult days. Together, let’s continue to believe for peace and stability in Haiti.
