Clinton Foundation in Haiti

Clinton Foundation in Haiti

Through our focus on partnerships and programs that encourage economic growth, empower girls and women, and support small businesses, we can help the people of Haiti build a strong and prosperous future.

Since 2010, the Clinton Foundation has raised more than $30 million for Haiti, including relief funds as well as funds for projects focused on supporting Haiti’s small and medium businesses, improving livelihoods, enhancing education and exploring the nexus of agriculture, energy and the environment. Today, the Clinton Foundation focuses on creating sustainable economic growth in the five priority sectors of agriculture, energy, environment, tourism, and artisans/manufacturing. The Foundation also works to promote full-cycle investing into these sectors, bringing together producers, investors, and markets in a way that is socially, environmentally, and economically impactful. Through this approach the Clinton Foundation has helped Haitian businesses develop their skills, increase their productivity, build their capacity, and connect with international partners and markets.
