In the fourth episode of Forward Footprint, Arpin’s ESG Director Karen Bannon continues the series’ conversations with Dr. Sue Carlson, Executive Director of the Raising Haiti Foundation, to examine one of Haiti’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. As ongoing gang violence and widespread displacement continue to affect communities across the country, education and crisis relief are providing stability, hope, and essential support for families forced to rebuild their lives.
Haiti is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Escalating violence has displaced thousands of families, disrupting livelihoods, separating communities, and limiting access to necessities such as food, healthcare, and education. While emergency assistance is critical, long-term recovery depends on creating opportunities that help families regain stability and prepare children for a brighter future.
Dr. Carlson shares how the Raising Haiti Foundation provides displaced families with essential resources, including food and emergency assistance, while continuing to invest in educational programs that offer children a safe place to learn despite the uncertainty surrounding them.
Education remains a central focus of the Foundation’s mission as schools become places of safety, consistency, and hope. By ensuring children can continue their education during times of instability, the Raising Haiti Foundation helps preserve opportunities for future generations while offering families a sense of normalcy amid difficult circumstances.
