Lead On Canada is shining a light on one of the country’s best-kept secrets – Canadian leadership in global women and children’s health. One area where Canadian leadership and innovation has continued to make an impression is Haiti.
Many Canadians know of Canada’s involvement in disaster response efforts in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, but unfortunately, they know far less about the long-term work that Canadian organizations are doing to improve the health, rights and wellbeing of Haitians.
Lead on Canada is addressing this knowledge gap through the “Spotlight On Haiti” series. The work of fifteen Canadian organizations and their local partners will be featured in blogs, videos, photos, trivia, and more to highlight Canadian impact in areas such as:
The Spotlight began on January 12th — the anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti — and continue until January 28th, 2019.
