Haiti in crisis - Key ways to make a difference

Since 2011, Little Footprints Big Steps has supported vulnerable children and families across 7 of Haiti’s 10 departments (states/provinces).  Haiti is currently experiencing a severe economic, social and political crisis that puts children at even more risk. Due to crippling inflation, insecurity and lack of circulation, families have become critically vulnerable – and the Little Footprints team is on the ground, providing critically needed supports.

Urgent needs:

• Nursing and medical services for vulnerable children, including helping families access functioning hospitals.
• Supporting Haitian child protection authorities in recovering 520 children from neglectful and abusive orphanages.
• Accessing emergency supplies to disburse where most needed (e.g., food staples, water purification tablets, etc.).

Key ways to support long-term recovery:

• Funding education for children in families with financial insecurity.
• Offering 200+ sustainable micro loans or “agro starter kits” (2 goats and seedlings) to be managed by communities for generations to come.

94% of donations will go directly to these timely projects.
