Haiti Emergency Response

Read the Report Building Hope in Haiti: A Look Inside Haitians' Lives Two Years After the Earthquake

Save the Children’s humanitarian response to Haiti’s epic earthquake on January 12, 2010 represents one of the most challenging and complex emergency efforts we have ever undertaken.

Over the past two years, we have worked with Haitian authorities, the international community, local and international organizations and communities to reach children and adults with lifesaving and life-sustaining support. Our work, begun in the very first hours after the catastrophe and based on our three-decade presence in Haiti, has taken place in the devastated capital of Port-au-Prince and in the shattered communities of Jacmel, Leogane and beyond.

Save the Children will stand with and continue to assist children, families, communities, agencies and authorities in the quake zone. Our generous donors
make this possible. We will prioritize education, child protection and health needs; help parents provide a secure and healthy environment for their children; and work to ensure a better future for Haitian children.
