Episcopal Relief & Development has long partnered with faith-based and other community groups to bring the Haitian people the emergency aid they need in times of natural disaster, and to help Haitians prepare for future crises. Our goal is to support marginalized communities both in the short term and over time as they rebuild.

With community-based organizations, we are building networks of volunteers, equipped with knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively to disasters and assist their communities before, during and after a disaster.
Episcopal Relief & Development and partners like Locally Haiti are working with local leaders and health authorities to improve access to quality healthcare for all in the communities of Petit Trou. Efforts include support for community health workers who provide front-line care, first aid and mobile vaccination and education campaigns, as well as training for traditional birth attendants.
In partnership with the Initiative pour le Développement des Jeunes (Haitian Youth Livelihood Initiative) (IDEJEN), we are providing cash assistance to support basic needs and the recapitalization of livelihood projects of an estimated two hundred women and girls living in internally displaced camps due to gang violence in Port-au-Prince. We also work with IDEJEN to nurture savings with education programming throughout earthquake affected territories.
