regularly updated list of agencies responding to the crisis and
accepting donations. Community efforts to raise money for the responding
organizations are a good way to harness the outpouring of generosity for
the effected people in Haiti. InterAction and most of the organizations
below do not have the capacity to support
volunteers.
On January 12th, a magnitude 7.0
earthquake struck 10 miles outside the capital city of Haiti. The
capital city has been devastated with collapsed buildings and people
trapped beneath the rubble. Full reports of casualties, damage and needs
are not yet available.
A number of InterAction members
are responding to the needs of the affected population, many with years
of experience working in the country.
InterAction has also
developed guidelines on the most appropriate ways to
help those affected by overseas
disasters.

appropriate disaster relief volunteering offers, visit the Center for International Disaster Information.

million to meet the needs of survivors. According to an initial
assessment, the immediate needs include water purification
supplies, food, temporary shelter materials, hygiene kits, and

purification tablets, oral rehydration salts, water testing kits,
mobile clinics, and other non-food items for survivors.

January 12, 2010, a major 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti. It
is the most powerful quake to hit the impoverished country in more
than 200 years. You can help people affected by donating to the
United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund. Gifts to the Fund support
long-term recovery efforts to rebuild lives and infrastructure
devastated by disaster and to address educational, financial and
health-related challenges. United Way Worldwide members in the
Caribbean region have mobilized their staff, volunteer leaders and
resources in response. |
