word@work Issue 2 | 2024: Emergency Aid Helps Struggling Families in Haiti

Earlier this year, the country of Haiti descended into dangerous, lawless chaos. Vicious gangs roamed freely through the capital city and released violent criminals from jail. The airport in Port-au-Prince remains closed. Murder, kidnapping, and random attacks on women and children have become the norm.

As a result, tens of thousands of displaced people are now living in the streets seeking help — because gang members have burned their houses to the ground. They’re thirsty, hungry, and terrified.
