Haiti, one of the poorest places in the world, needs your help after a powerful earthquake rocked the nation late Tuesday afternoon.
Massive death tolls are expected in Haiti due to the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake and ActionAid has begun on-the-ground emergency relief efforts, while also launching an appeal for funds to help better assist Haitians down the road. Our emergency team is planning to deliver clean water, shelter and goods like blankets and soap to 20,000 people.
“This latest disaster will hit the poorest Haitians hardest and they will need help from the international community to recover,” said Adriano Campolina, ActionAid’s Americas International director. “We will be doing an initial assessment and are trying to get extra staff flown as soon as possible.
“After the initial emergency has passed ActionAid will also help poor people to rebuild their homes and restart their livelihoods,” he added.
When emergencies occur, ActionAid responds efficiently and effectively in the short term through our Strategic Crisis Fund, which allows immediate disbursement of funds for rapid or slow-onset humanitarian response, such as providing medicines, food and shelter to people in need.
ActionAid has been in Haiti since 1996, working with over 30,000 people. We urgently need your help to save lives in the short term, while we also assist Haitians to rebuild their lives.
Your donation today will directly help Haitians struggling with the earthquake's aftermath. Please join us.
