  • Haiti is still struggling to recover from a devastating earthquake, which occurred a decade ago. And yet, there has been hope. We’ve worked alongside the people of Haiti, as they mobilize local leadership to improve conditions. There has been a new library. A hospital. A school. And, much, much more. We’ll share their stories in the year ahead. Today, our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues in Haiti. Click the link in the bio to read our reflections about a decade after the earthquake. . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #Community #RacialEquity #ThrivingChildren #Haiti #HaitiEarthquake #HopeforHaiti #Grantees #PriorityPlace #International #10YearsLater #Decade #Anniversary
  • On January 12, 2010, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 hit Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and its metropolitan area. It killed more than 100,000 people, destroyed homes and weakened the nation’s economy. We’ve seen progress and hope over the last decade, despite the disappointments that have characterized reconstruction. Our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues in Haiti today. In the coming year, we’ll share some of their stories. Today, we’re reflecting on a decade of work alongside remarkable people.

  • “Perhaps my story will allow someone to see their reflection in its muddy waters on some evening when they are lost and looking for shelter in the city at night. I can’t guarantee that the reflection will be of much help, or that these papers will offer even a fragile roof over their head. But here between these papers is where the promise lives and breathes.” - Mayra Santos-Febres, author and WKKF Solidarity Council on Racial Equity member . . . #WKKF #KelloggFoundation #Author #Writer #Quote #Solidarity4Equity #Story #Latinx #AfroAmerican
