Haiti: Helping Out
January 19, 2010
Just a quick note from HIP to say that contributions of time, material goods and money are still desperately needed in Haiti. Check out these sites for ideas on how to pitch in:
UNICEF -UNICEF’s field staff is working around the clock to help save the tens of thousands of children who have been injured in the quake, separated from their families, and desperately need clean water, food and other help.
PlanUSA – Plan already has 143 staff on the ground in Haiti working to provide immediate relief in the wake of the disaster. This organization has a long-standing presence in the country.
Oxfam America - Oxfam’s 200 staffers stationed in Haiti, including a highly trained emergency response team of 15, are rushing to meet the most urgent needs, such as providing clean water and other public health necessities.
ActionAid - ActionAid has worked in Haiti since 1996; their crisis response efforts focus on providing shelter, clean water and medicine to survivors.
ACCION International – ACCION is working with SOGESOL, its Haitian partner, to provide services and support to its 13,500 microfinance clients in the nation.
You can also check in with Medecins San Frontieres and Action Against Hunger. Even the smallest contribution helps!
