HI in Haiti
Present in Haiti since 2008, the NGO Handicap International – Humanité & Inclusion is considered in Haiti as a major player in the rehabilitation sector. In this capacity, the organization has been contributing for several years to strengthening the capacities of several rehabilitation services and centers in the West, North, North-East, South and South-East departments. HI also intervened as part of the emergency responses to the earthquakes of 2010 and 2021, directly intervening with the affected populations. Member and leader of the National Technical Committee for Rehabilitation (CTN), the organization and the various members who make up this committee are strongly engaged in the development of the national strategy for the recognition of rehabilitation in Haiti and the development of a basic curriculum for rehabilitation professionals (Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists).
HI has also been involved in the Water, Hygiene and Sanitation sectors since the end of 2022 in response to the resurgence of the cholera epidemic in the departments of North, North-East and West, Disaster Risk Management in the South department through a project focusing on Anticipated Actions, Humanitarian Logistics through the Sea Urgence Logistics Haiti (MERLUH) project which covers the entire territory and the Socioeconomic Integration of people with disabilities in the North and West departments. Inclusive Humanitarian Action, based on the approach based on the Rights of People with Disabilities, is also one of the cross-cutting sectors of the Organization.
The URPOST project
The Urgence Réadaptation POSt Trauma (URPOST) project responds to the challenges of the unprecedented multidimensional crisis that Haiti has been experiencing since 2018. This crisis, at the origin of the displacement of more than 320,000 people in the Metropolitan Area of Port au Prince alone (ZMPAP ) according to the latest IOM displacement situation report, continues to contribute to the impoverishment of the Haitian population and to hinder their access (physical and economic) to quality health care.
As part of the complementarity of the activities of Médecins Sans Frontières Belgium, which opened a new trauma center in the commune of Carrefour at the beginning of March 2024, the URPOST project aims to respond to the rehabilitation needs and rights of the community of Greater Martissant, which has been operating for several years in a context of permanent insecurity, in a logic of complementarity with the activities of MSF-B with which HI has already collaborated as part of the response to the 2010 earthquake. As such, HI will directly provide early and outpatient care to patients referred by MSF-B.
