Earthquake in Haiti: Victim Support Effort Launched 14 Jan 10
Comments (3) Earthquake Victim Support
As you know, Haiti has just received a tremendous blow from the recent earthquake, from which it will take years to recover. Many people have contacted us with generous offers of help. Our immediate focus is to provide relief and support for as many as possible of the victims of the earthquake – many of whom are homeless without food, shelter or access to medical supplies.
Your help will enable us to immediately offer practical assistance and reduce the suffering. Our immediate concern is to do everything we can to help the thousands of Haitians from the Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas who will be seeking refuge outside of the stricken capital. Shelter, food and access to medical supplies are the first necessities.
We are placing our organization’s long experience in development activities at the service of the community and would appreciate everyone’s support at this time. The immediate impact will be to feed and house as many families as possible suffering today from the terrible events of the recent earthquake.
To help the homeless from Port-au-Prince, we are organizing the housing at the EFACAP school in Mersan, and will feed all the refugees, and provide medicine, clothing and other amenities (hygiene, linen, towels, etc.)
If you would like to help please donate now, or contact us by email. Thank you. God Bless.
