Disaster Response - Haiti Earthquake

A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12. Habitat for Humanity is working on affordable shelter solutions with low-income families in affected areas. Our ability to respond effectively to this disaster will require support from donors, volunteers, corporate partners and other community organisations.

Disaster Response - Haiti Earthquake

Your support is vital to our efforts. You can read more about the quake on http://www.bbc.co.uk Without going into details it is particularly devastating and while such events do not discriminate in terms of who they hit hardest we know that the poor will be effected the most severely and take longest to recover. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world and the talk in news bulletins is of..... " thousands of people sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. There are people running, crying, screaming. "People are trying to dig victims out with flashlights. I think hundreds of casualties would be a serious understatement." Please take the time to read the BBC coverage and pray for our colleagues, home partners and their families in Haiti and Latin America this morning.
