The Clinton Foundation was heavily involved in Haiti, especially after the 2010 earthquake. Their work included:
•
Fundraising and Relief: Raising and directing over $30 million for immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts, including support for small and medium-sized businesses.
•
Economic Development: Promoting economic development and supporting small businesses, often through partnerships with local organizations and international donors.
•
Healthcare: Building and operating the William Jefferson Clinton Children's Center in Port-au-Prince, which replaced a destroyed orphanage and provided care for children.
•
Coordination and Advocacy: Bill Clinton co-chaired the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission and helped lead the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, which focused on rebuilding infrastructure and supporting recovery projects.
•
Agriculture and Sustainability: Partnering with organizations like Kuli Kuli to plant moringa trees, aiming to provide sustainable income for Haitian farmers and address poverty.
The foundation acted as a catalyst, working with partners to implement projects that improved lives and built resilience in Haitian communities.
