Children and families in Haiti, Guatemala, and Uganda are some of the most severely impacted by hunger and malnutrition in the world. Many rely on meager earnings from the informal economy and have no support system. Without work or reduced incomes the past few years, they are facing dire circumstances.
HRI's emergency feeding program serves communities where there is increased food insecurity for vulnerable families. Many rely on meager earnings from the informal economy and have no support system. Without work or income, they are facing dire circumstances.
In partnership with the World Food Program (WFP), HRI is currently supporting 64,658 of the most vulnerable people in Haiti with emergency food and cash assistance. HRI is actively seeking support for a 12-month initiative to pair with this emergency nutrition program as we aim to shift from emergency relief to lasting resilience by empowering 600 vulnerable women to establish and manage small-scale goat-rearing enterprises for income generation.
In addition, HRI has provided more than 697,200 gallons of water to more than 18,152 displaced persons in Haiti since 2024!
HRI is also proud to partner with Emiti Emito Creative Arts Initiative Uganda on a three-month pilot Community Children’s Feeding Program now underway in Lusaze, Uganda. Through this initiative, 80 vulnerable children are receiving a nutritious meal each day, helping address one of the most fundamental barriers to their ability to learn, grow, and thrive: hunger.
HRI ensures that no child in our programs goes hungry because of extreme poverty, pandemics, or other natural or manmade disaster!
