• Haiti is roughly the size of Maryland, but is home to over 10 million people.

• 80% of Haitians live in poverty with an average annual income of around $400 US.

• Only 52.9% of those over the age of 15 are able to read and write.

• Because of past political corruption and misappropriation of resources, many Haitians continue to remain in extreme poverty and darkness throughout their lives.

​

In the midst of severe situations, through training and hard work, World Wide Village believes it is possible for Haitian families to break the bonds of poverty. Today WWV partners with Haitians through an E-Approach to poverty alleviation: Engage, Evaluate, Educate, Enlist, Empower, Entrust, and Encourage.
