🚨 Urgent — Haiti Deportee Emergency Response
They Arrive With Nothing.
We Can Change That.
Every day Haitian families are being deported to Haiti with nothing but the clothes on their backs. No food. No supplies. No support. RL Bethany's Emergency Arrival Kits meet them at the airport so they are not completely alone.
Imagine being forced onto a plane and sent to a country you barely know — with nothing in your hands and nowhere to go. That is the reality for thousands of Haitian men, women, and children being deported right now.
In 2025 alone, more than 270,000 people were forcibly returned to Haiti. Many have lived in the United States for 10, 15, even 20 years. They have children here. Jobs here. Lives here. When they land at Cap-Haïtien International Airport they have no housing, no food, no money, and no support system waiting for them. Research shows that about half report symptoms consistent with depression or anxiety.
RL Bethany believes that a deported person is not a failure. They are a Haitian with experience, skills, relationships, and potential. That is why we are proud to partner with Sonje Ayiti — a Haitian-led organization building one of the most comprehensive returning citizen reintegration programs in Haiti today.
Together, RL Bethany and Sonje Ayiti are committed to transforming forced return into a new beginning — meeting people at the airport with our Emergency Arrival Kits and walking with them every step of the way toward stability, dignity, and a rebuilt life in Haiti.
