Help Haitian families recover from Hurricane Melissa
Children and families need immediate support after this devastating storm.
Your gift today can provide vital aid to communities already affected by widespread unrest and food insecurity.
Hundreds of families across southern Haiti have been forced to relocate to emergency shelters after severe flooding destroyed their homes. Our local teams are on the ground ready to help where it’s needed most.
Please help today.
Children and families in Haiti are facing compounding crises. We will stand with them through this storm and beyond, so they can recover and rebuild.

For children in Haiti, the impact of the hurricane is yet another blow. With families already struggling to find food and safety, they are now at risk from floods, damaged homes, and disrupted communities. Children are particularly vulnerable as infrastructure collapses and essential services struggle to operate.
Your generosity can change this. With your help, families can receive food assistance, hygiene kits and shelter to help them survive in the coming days and weeks.
Together, we can help children survive, recover and begin to rebuild their lives.
Please help children today
Before Hurricane Melissa, nearly half of Haiti’s population was already experiencing acute hunger, with more than two million people at emergency levels.
Prolonged unrest has displaced more than 1.3 million people, over half of them children. Many families have crossed into the Dominican Republic seeking safety.

World Vision has worked in Haiti for more than 45 years, supporting children, families, and communities through both long-term development programmes and emergency relief.
We focus on improving access to clean water, nutrition, healthcare, and protection for the most vulnerable children.
In 2024, World Vision’s programmes in Haiti reached tens of thousands of people:
Emergency response efforts during the same year supported thousands more:
When emergencies hit, children are often the most at risk. That’s why we need to be there – in places torn apart by disasters and conflict.
During 2024, we helped over 35 million people in emergencies - including 19 million children. We respond to humanitarian crises, caused by conflict as well as natural disasters, in 65 different countries.
We’re one of the first organisations to respond when an emergency strikes. Within 72 hours of a disaster, we can deliver lifesaving supplies anywhere in the world – often even sooner.
In the wake of a disaster, we stay to help rebuild the lives of children, families, and communities. We also help to build resilience so that if another disaster strikes, they are better able to cope.
