Children in Haiti face complex challenges stemming from economic, political, and climate-related factors. Grassroots organizations have been working to help children during this time of crisis. Through programs that meet the nutritional needs of children and help young people find their place in a changing country, these groups are working to build stronger communities and offer hope.
