Haiti: Despite the Crisis, Hunger Can Be Defeated
As hunger reaches alarming levels across the country, voices are rising to remind the world that this crisis is not inevitable. Despite instability, rampant inflation, and insecurity, there is still hope to effectively address food insecurity in Haiti. The Concorde Haïtienne de Sécurité Alimentaire et Nutritionnelle (CHSAN), alongside its local and international partners, stands as living proof of what’s possible.
A Worsening Crisis
Nearly half of the Haitian population is currently facing acute food insecurity. Entire families struggle to access even one meal a day, especially in rural areas like Grand’Anse, where CHSAN actively operates. But behind these terrifying statistics are concrete, local solutions led by determined actors on the ground.
Community Action: The Key to Change
CHSAN strongly believes that change will not come solely from international humanitarian aid but from the empowerment of local communities.
Through initiatives such as moringa tree nurseries, agroecological farming, nutrition education, and soon sustainable beekeeping, CHSAN works hand-in-hand with local populations to build long-term food resilience and self-sufficiency.
> “We have the skills, the fertile land, the motivated youth… All we need is the necessary support to scale up our actions,” says Fabienne Sanon, CHSAN’s project leader.
A Call for Solidarity and Investment
The involvement of Haitian authorities is crucial, especially through the effective implementation of the right to food, which Haiti has ratified under international law. However, the Haitian diaspora, international foundations, responsible businesses, and global citizens can also play a critical role.
With the support of partners like Haitian Health Foundation, Sol Foundation, ATS, and All the Sky Foundation, CHSAN continues to expand its impact. But the needs remain vast.
A Future Fueled by Hope
Hunger is not inevitable. It is the result of political choices, economic priorities, and social decisions. CHSAN is convinced that with more resources, more allies, and stronger political will, food security in Haiti can be achieved.
