World Humanitarian Day |
This World Humanitarian Day, we honor the Haitian humanitarian workers helping children and families navigate some of the most difficult challenges facing their communities.
At CNP Haiti, our humanitarian work is led by Haitians serving other Haitians.
One of those humanitarians is Bertin Braud, a CNP Haiti field agent in Léogâne. Each day, Bertin travels to homes and communities to monitor children receiving treatment for malnutrition and support caregivers throughout their recovery. For families facing food insecurity, transportation barriers, insecurity, and limited access to health services, those visits help ensure children remain connected to the care they need.
But Bertin's work goes beyond monitoring a child's progress. He meets with caregivers, listens to their concerns, answers questions about nutrition and treatment, and helps families navigate the challenges of caring for a child during difficult circumstances.
"Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy. My role is to support families, monitor children's progress, and make sure parents have the information they need to care for their children."
— Bertin Braud, CNP Haiti Field Agent
On World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate Bertin and the many Haitian humanitarian workers helping children and families build healthier futures. Their commitment demonstrates the power of local leadership and community-based care.
Join us in supporting Haiti's children and families by strengthening the work of Haitian humanitarians serving their own communities.
