Over 800,000 people in Haiti live with a disability, yet access to employment remains a major challenge. Lack of accessibility, discrimination, and poor healthcare infrastructure make economic independence nearly impossible. The World Bank has highlighted the economic and social barriers that Haitians with disabilities face. Without proper support, many individuals with disabilities face lifelong economic hardship, unable to contribute to their communities as they otherwise could.
Healing Hands for Haiti is breaking this cycle. We provide rehabilitation, job training, and vocational programs that help Haitians with disabilities regain their independence. Our programs go beyond medical support—we equip individuals with the skills and confidence to reintegrate into the workforce. With accessible workspaces, mentorship programs, and mobility support, we are helping to redefine economic inclusion in Haiti.
Why Economic Inclusion Matters
A country cannot progress if a significant portion of its population is left behind. As the World Bank report suggests, economic inclusion for people with disabilities is critical for Haiti’s long-term stability. By supporting local rehabilitation efforts, we are not just restoring health—we are rebuilding futures. Our work provides individuals with the tools they need to build careers, start businesses, and lead self-sufficient lives.
