UNICEF Haiti

In Haiti, more and more children are victims of violence and forced recruitment by armed groups. During a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Haitian National Police (PNH), the representative of UNICEF, Mrs Geeta Narayan reiterated the urgent need to take action to protect and support these children and give them a chance to rebuild their lives. The Haitian Government and #UNICEF are joining forces to strengthen the care provided to these children affected by insecurity. #foreverychild 🩵

Following of Tropical Storm #Melissa, the lack of sunlight disrupted the power supply to cold storage rooms for vaccines in the South-East, Nippes and Grand'Anse.   Thanks to the support of UNICEF Haiti, three generators were installed in departmental supply centres and departmental hospitals to ensure that vaccines were kept between 2°C and 8°C and that vaccination activities could continue. #Foreverychild 🩵

During the day dedicated to celebrating the literacy partnership in Haiti, organised under the patronage of the MENFP | Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle, #UNICEF reaffirmed its support for the Government in the fight against illiteracy. #UNICEF will continue to support the educational and social reintegration of young people leaving armed groups through the PREJEUNES program, as well as teacher training and school construction. #foreverychild 🩵

Il y a un mois, les écoles en #Haïti ont rouvert leurs portes pour accueillir les enfants.    Grâce au soutien de The World Bank, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), du Gouvernement du Japon, de la Fondation Carlos Slim, de Sida, de la Banque Interaméricaine de Développement, et du MENFP | Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle en collaboration avec l’UNICEF, les établissements scolaires ont pu rouvrir pour l’année académique 2025-2026.    Dans un pays où l’insécurité a détruit ou transformé de nombreuses écoles en abris pour les familles déplacées, ce retour en classe est pour des milliers d’enfants un pas vers l’espoir, la stabilité et l’avenir.    L’UNICEF reste pleinement engagé à garantir à chaque enfant un environnement d’apprentissage sûr, inclusif et protecteur. #pourchaqueenfant 🩵

“I learn every day, I love school, and I want to become a doctor.”  Raymond, 9 years old, 4th-grade student. In a context where access to education is challenged by insecurity, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and SIDA continue to support children like Raymond through the distribution of school kits. Thanks to this partnership with the MENFP, children can keep learning and dreaming despite the country’s challenges. #ForEveryChild 💙

In several communities in the far south and west, families have lost everything: Their homes, their possessions, their fields and their loved ones. During this difficult time, UNICEF remains by these families' side to provide them with the necessary support. CP: Patrice Noel #ForEveryChild 💙
