About Plan International Haiti

Haiti is currently facing a convergence of crises—violence, food insecurity, and cholera. In response, the UN is activating a system-wide scale-up, and Plan International Haiti is committed to supporting this effort through strengthened programming and donor engagement. We are building a robust portfolio of grants to meet the urgent needs of children, especially girls, and to support long-term development and resilience.
