FAES Expands Social Aid Programs Across Haiti
Government fund opens a community kitchen in Les Coteaux and distributes food kits across the South Department.
Since the beginning of November 2026, the Haitian government, through the Economic and Social Assistance Fund (FAES), has been intensifying its social interventions across the national territory to aid the most vulnerable families, according to icihaiti.com.
In Les Coteaux, a newly opened community kitchen allows for the preparation and distribution of 1,000 hot meals daily for the most vulnerable individuals, the outlet reported.
In the South Department, several operations to distribute food kits and ready-to-eat (no-cook) meal kits have already been carried out, notably in Tiburon, Les Anglais, Chardonnières and Les Cayes, specifically in the areas of Mercy, Fonfrède and La Savane. Distributions were also organized at the sites of the Sainte-Marie Hospital and Sogesol.
Through this mobilization, the government says it aims to provide concrete support to families facing hardship and to address the essential needs of the population. Beyond the kits being distributed, the effort is intended to convey a message of solidarity, closeness and care for those most vulnerable, according to the source.
