It all began with a terrible earthquake in Haiti’s capital, Port au Prince, in 2010. Many work trips followed, and Jeremie Rising was formed along the way to expand the circle of support for the ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life for those sitting before us.
Jeremie Rising is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 2019 with operations beginning in March 2020. Our U.S. tax ID is 84-3428238. We are dedicated to providing medical, educational, and shelter-related relief to Haitians living in and around Jérémie, Haiti—a port city of over 100,000 people in the southwest province of Grand’Anse.
We are supported by a loyal, capable, and trustworthy ground team in Jeremie that organizes and oversees all projects. As an all-volunteer organization, 99% of contributions go directly to programs. Our efforts focus on addressing critical needs in the Jérémie region, including:

We're good at what we do. Help us help them. Change the world for our Haitian friends, one life at a time.
