NEW YORK (AP) — Humanitarian donations to conflict-ravaged Haiti have dramatically declined since the assassination of its President Jovenel Moïse in 2021. But the W.K. Kellogg Foundation wants to reverse that with a new $90 million campaign it calls “Pockets of Hope.” The foundation launched the initiative in September with a commitment of $30 million over three years. The foundation’s president and CEO says it will focus on community-level efforts to provide education, health care and economic development. She hopes the foundation’s success in providing support to communities in Haiti will convince other nonprofits to help as well.
