Welcome to Youth Action for Haiti
Youth Action is a Christian non-profit organization striving to empower young girls and boys to develop and implement programs that help alleviate the suffering of children and young people living in difficult circumstances, empower them to reach their full potential, and break cycles of violence and poverty. We also focus on women’s empowerment.
Why our work Matters
At this moment, the challenges faced by Haitian youth are immense. Limited access to education and economic opportunities traps many in a cycle of poverty.
At YA, we recognize that children who are out of school are more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, teenage pregnancy, and gang involvement and we address these challenges head-on, providing access to education, offering an alternative pathway and protect children from these dangers. Our approach is holistic, ensuring that every child and the young people we work with receive the support they need to thrive.
