HAITI Update

It’s been months since the people of Haiti had their world shattered by a massive earthquake that reduced Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas to immense piles of rubble and destruction.

HOPE International Development Agency responded to the crisis immediately by transporting medical supplies and other urgently needed materials into Haiti from the Dominican Republic.

Today, we continue to focus on meeting the most immediate needs of earthquake survivors, including providing medical support by ensuring that local hospitals and clinics have the medical supplies they need in order to continue treating the injured.

A recent shipment of medical supplies, along with three previous shipments, is putting live-saving supplies in the hands of doctors, nurses and clinic workers serving the survivors in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. For the most vulnerable of survivors, we continue to provide tents in an effort to improve living conditions for those who have lost everything.

We are working with long-term partners in Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic to ensure that recovery efforts, currently in the early stages, result in Haitians being able to not only rebuild their lives, but also significantly improve their quality of life. Reconstruction activities, in neglected rural communities in the earthquake affected area, will focus on rehabilitation of water supply systems and other essential community infrastructures.

We need your continued help in order to help Haitians rebuild their lives. Please give generously.
