PPM Disaster Response: Haiti Political Unrest Update

Over the past couple of weeks, protesters in Haiti have taken to the streets to express their frustrations towards the current economic crisis and widespread political corruption. Many people across the country have been discontent with the current presidential administration, and the opposition political party has sprung into action. These protests have posed significant issues for the country, blocking many main roads. As a result, schools have not been in session and businesses have been closed. We have heard reports that the situation has calmed in the last few days and that businesses and schools are expected to reopen this week.

We are continually monitoring the situation, both through our staff on the ground in Haiti and from afar. We are rerouting or rescheduling many of our PPM Haiti teams scheduled to travel in March, but are praying and hopeful that the situation will continue to improve. We ask for continued prayer for Haiti, for our partner pastors who love hosting our teams, and for our staff who rely on the PPM trips to support themselves and their families.

If your team needs to relocate your trip, whether you are currently a PPM group or not, we have many locations that are ready to receive you. Both international and domestic trip options are available for this spring and summer; all with the heart to build up, encourage, and assist the local church.
