At the end of October 2025, Hurricane Melissa struck our country, causing significant material damage and severely impacting thousands of families. Faced with this natural disaster, CHSAN mobilized quickly to provide emergency assistance to those affected.

Emergency intervention

Thanks to the generous grants from GlobalGiving, CHSAN was able to deploy effective emergency actions to best support the affected communities. Our teams on the ground worked tirelessly to ensure that assistance reached those who needed it most.

1. Distribution of Food Kits:

More than 200 households received food kits containing essential items such as rice, oil, black beans, and other nutritious products. This aid provided immediate relief to families who had lost their food resources as a result of the storm.

2. Access to Drinking Water:

We also ensured access to drinking water through several kiosks set up in the affected areas. Since water quality is crucial for public health, this initiative helped reduce the risks of waterborne diseases during this critical period.

3. Support for Farmers:

In addition to food assistance, CHSAN has taken steps to help farmers whose gardens were devastated by the hurricane. We began distributing suitable seeds, enabling farmers to restart their agricultural activities. This assistance is ongoing, with regular monitoring of crop development.

Status of Activities

Field activities are progressing satisfactorily. Our teams continue to work closely with beneficiaries to assess their needs and adjust our assistance as the situation evolves. The feedback we are receiving from the communities is encouraging and demonstrates the resilience of the residents in the face of adversity.

Conclusion

CHSAN's emergency response, made possible with the support of GlobalGiving, had a significant impact on the lives of many families after Hurricane Melissa. We remain committed to supporting these communities in their reconstruction process and ensuring their long-term food security.

We thank our unwavering partner (GlobalGiving) for their invaluable support, without which these actions would not have been possible. Together, we can build a better future for all.

A New Breath for Grand-Anse: A Life-Saving Interv

By Fabienne Sanon | Project Leader

The situation regarding food insecurity in several areas of Grand 'Anse remains concerning. In light of alarming levels of acute food insecurity and chronic malnutrition, our organization is thrilled to announce the relaunch of a crucial project, made possible through new funding from our valued partner GlobalGiving.

Since last week, our team has been mobilized on the ground to identify and support the most vulnerable beneficiaries. This emergency intervention project focuses on the immediate provision of food and clean drinking water, two essential elements for the survival and well-being of those affected.

The Impact of Food Insecurity

Food insecurity has devastating consequences, particularly for children. Chronic malnutrition can lead to stunted growth, long-term health issues, and can compromise the physical and cognitive development of young people. Facing these challenges, every action counts, and we know it is imperative to act swiftly to stem this crisis.

A Rapid and Tailored Response

Thanks to the generosity of our partner, we have been able to relaunch our food assistance program, which is taking place in several municipalities. Our team is working tirelessly to reach the most affected populations, implementing targeted distributions based on identified needs. Beneficiary collection operations are already underway to ensure that those who need help the most receive it promptly.

Essential Collaboration

We wish to express our profound gratitude to our partner for their trust and unwavering support. It is through collaborations like this that we can implement meaningful and sustainable interventions on the ground. Together, we aim to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of people by providing vital support.

The Future

We are fully aware that there is still much to be done. This project is just a first step toward building sustainable resilience against food insecurity in the region. Through this program, we also hope to raise awareness about issues related to food security, encourage sustainable agricultural practices, and promote community self-sufficiency.

We will continue to monitor the evolution of the situation and adapt our efforts based on real needs on the ground. Through solidarity and the commitment of everyone involved, we have the opportunity to create a better future for families in Grand-Anse.

For more information about our project or to learn how you can help, please do not hesitate to contact us. Together, let’s drive change forward!

Haiti: Despite the Crisis, Hunger Can Be Defeated

By Guelson Jean-Louis | Project Leader

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.
