Each meal you pack, fund and pray over equips FMSC partners to do transformative work around the world. Hunger relief is usually just part of what our partners do — but food is the foundation for so much more.

Haiti | Caribbean

5.4 million people in Haiti are now experiencing acute hunger, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis. This means a full half of the country is struggling to find enough food each day — a record-high level of hunger in a country that has faced blow after blow.

2 million Haitians face emergency levels of hunger (IPC Phase 4) with severe food shortages, malnutrition and heightened disease risks. At least 6,000 displaced individuals in Port-au-Prince are in catastrophic hunger (IPC Phase 5) — a stage defined by starvation, death and extreme malnutrition. This marks the worst hunger emergency in the Western Hemisphere.

Widespread violence and political instability make it unsafe for many people to work or grow food. Natural disasters like droughts and storms continue to destroy crops and homes, while crippling poverty has made food unaffordable for many families.

FMSC is working closely with in-country partners, who risk their own safety every day to ensure food is delivered across the country, despite the increasing challenges.

For the protection of our partners and the people they serve, we are not currently sharing any identifying details for FMSC distribution partners in Haiti.
