Today we find much of Haiti controlled by gangs, drugs being funneled through the streets of Haiti, and no elected officials left. Its rulers are illegitimate. Haiti is a failed state. There is no current path forward.

There have been many people who have spoken out against the use of force in Haiti. Most are opposed because of past failures. While military intervention is not the long-term solution, stabilization of the country is the start of the solution.

Currently, a nation full of potential is being held hostage by multiple and different actors that are fueling gang activity to gain power for their own interests.

While the world is silent and turns its attention away from Haiti, thousands are being killed, raped, and displaced out of fear for their lives and families.

The lack of response from the international community, even after the request by the Haitian government for intervention, has led to a mass exodus of Haitians into the neighboring islands and to the U.S.

Military force is needed to stabilize Haiti. Since the Haitian military has been disbanded since the mid-90s, Haiti does not have the capacity through its police force to gain total control of the country.

The problem has never been military force that has been deployed to stabilize Haiti; it has worked for the short term.

Many have asked the question,

“What actually can be done in Haiti?”

On the following slides is a three-phased approach that would help bring peace, plan, and set Haiti up on a pathway forward.

Phase 1 (1-6 months) Bring Peace

Stabilize Haiti and give the people freedom. This will require international military intervention, working in conjunction with the Haitian National Police(HNP) and military.

Phase 2 (7-16 months) Planning

Enable the people of Haiti to decide who will govern them. International community will keep the peace while Haiti holds general elections. This will be a long process given the fact that there are no elected officials in power and the electoral process is broken.

Phase 3 (17-48 months) Pathway Forward: Haiti First

Haiti First means ensuring the funds given builds the infrastructure to give the people of Haiti the best opportunity for a successful path forward. The Haitian government, businesses, and NGO sector must adopt this policy—that each will seek the good for all Haitians.

What can you do?

ACT NOW:

Together, our voices will be used to speak up for our neighbors and friends in Haiti.

Seen at Last: How Compassion Changed One Boy’s Life

By Mackenzie Bartolome • February 10, 2026
He was only thirteen when an accident changed everything. In the Dominican Republic, a young boy, Binsley, was left paralyzed with no access to medical care and no one to turn to. His only family—his two brothers—loved him but had no resources to help. Without treatment, food, or proper care, his condition worsened, and painful wounds began to form as he lay waiting for help that never seemed to come. That changed when Pastor Carlos, a local pastor traveling with a Mission of Hope team, met him and immediately recognized the urgency of his situation. Through his leadership and connection with our Community Engagement team, care began—consistent, compassionate, and life-giving. Because of faithful support, Binsley now receives regular medic al care, nutritious food, clean clothing, wound treatment, and physical therapy in La Joya. While he remains paralyzed, his health has stabilized, his pain has lessened, and he is no longer facing his journey alone. For the first time in months, there is hope. Your generosity made this possible. Because you chose to give, a young boy was seen, cared for, and reminded that his life matters. And he is not the only one. There are many others praying for help—and through your continued partnership, hope is reaching them too.

A Mother’s Path to Hope

By Mackenzie Bartolome • February 10, 2026
In January, Klèb Manman continued to grow in Cap-Haïtien, with three active groups and the joyful beginning of a new one. These groups are more than meetings; they are safe spaces where mothers find encouragement, skills, and hope for a better future. In December, one young mother joined Klèb Manman. She is navigating motherhood at a very young age, carrying both the deep love for her child and the heavy responsibility of providing for her baby. After one Klèb Manman session, she approached our Women Empowerment director, Madame Rosealure, quietly and said, “Mrs., please, can I talk with you?” When Madame Roselaure said yes, she shared her dream: she wanted to start a small business so she could care for her child with dignity. Madame Roselaure shared that she did not have the financial ability to help right away, but she promised to pray with her and to trust God to make a way. The following month, moved by her courage and determination as a young mother, Madame Roselaure decided to use her own money to purchase materials so she could learn how to make liquid soap. This brave mother took that opportunity and turned it into action. She made the soap, sold it, and reinvested part of the income by buying more supplies so she could continue her business. Step by step, she began building a path toward independence and stability for herself and her baby. This story reflects the heart of Klèb Manman. Through manual activities and practical support, mothers, many of whom are navigating motherhood at an extremely young age, are gaining skills that empower them economically and emotionally. This kind of support restores hope, strengthens confidence, and helps mothers provide for their families while believing in a brighter future.
