The Haitian-Mexican Union of Small Farmers, Ranchers and Sustainable Development (UNHAMEXPAGRI) works to support women, girls, and vulnerable communities in Haiti and Mexico. Through its Rural Women’s Unit, the organisation promotes gender equality, integration, and access to essential services, particularly for those affected by violence, displacement, and poverty.
Supporting Women and Girls in Difficulty
Haitian women and girls are currently facing extremely difficult conditions. Many have been forced from their homes due to armed groups and are living in temporary shelters, effectively becoming refugees within their own county. In addition, women and girls with disabilities are often excluded from society, with limited access to opportunities and support.
UNHAMEXPAGRI also supports children and girls who have not been able to attend school, helping provide access to education and essential resources.
Gender Equality and Inclusion
For UNHAMEXPAGRI, gender equality is essential to eradicating hunger and poverty. Through its Global Gender Equality Policy 2025–2040 and its Regional Strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean, the organisation promotes:
-
- Equal access to resources and opportunities
-
- Representation in decision-making processes
-
- Fair and equitable distribution of work
This work focuses particularly on rural, Indigenous, youth, and Afro-descendant women in both Mexico and Haiti with activities carried out in several key areas, including:
-
- Rural women’s development
-
- Agroecology and agriculture
-
- Community and mental health
-
- Nutrition and health
-
- Livestock and small-scale farming
-
- Climate change
-
- Microfinance for rural women
These projects are rooted in the community and aim to strengthen liv
elihoods, improve wellbeing, and promote sustainable development. The organisation also works with children, youth, and elderly people, especially those affected by violence.
UNHAMEXPAGRI supports the integration of immigrants and refugees into communities in Mexico by providing training, professional support, and legal assistance. These are essential elements for successful integration.
While immigrants contribute to the local economy and create businesses, they often face challenges such as language barriers, legal difficulties, and limited access to education and financing. The organisation works to support their social, economic, and cultural integration.
Support Their Work!
Today, many Haitian women and girls are living in tents after being forced from their homes by violence. Others, especially those with disabilities, remain excluded from society, without access to basic opportunities. Children are growing up without education, and families are struggling to rebuild their lives.
Your support can help change this.
By supporting the work of UNHAMEXPAGRI, you contribute to providing essential resources, protection, and opportunities for those who need them the most. You help strengthen efforts to restore dignity, promote gender equality, and build more inclusive communities in Haiti and Mexico.
