Haiti is a country of extraordinary resilience, talent and potential. But today, a convergence of violence, displacement and economic hardship is putting the future of a generation at risk.

Nearly 1.5 million Haitians are displaced, approximately half of them children. 5.7 million people face acute food insecurity, and more than 1,600 schools were closed during the 2024–25 academic year, disrupting education for more than 240,000 students.*

At the same time, families are facing a new challenge. Nearly 198,000 people were forcibly returned to Haiti during the first eight months of 2026, an 11% increase from the same period in 2025.* Many return to communities already under tremendous economic strain, often making it even harder for families to afford their children's education.

At LaSelle Institute, we believe today's crisis should not determine a child's tomorrow.

By working with trusted local partners, we help expand access to education and economic opportunity, giving young Haitians the resources to pursue their ambitions and build a stronger future for themselves, their families and their communities.

Talent has not disappeared. Ambition has not disappeared. Opportunity can make the difference.
