Urgent
Tuesday, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake devastated the Port-au-Prince area where most of the schools and orphanages are located. One of our project officers in Haiti just contacted our home office and said, “It looks like Dante’s Inferno. There are dead bodies everywhere. It’s hell on earth.”

Our schools and orphanages are in shambles. The kids were living on the edge of a cliff. Now, the cliff has crumbled. Our many pastors, teachers, and health care providers are working directly with the kids and families in Haiti’s most impoverished sectors. We believe the key to efficient and effective assistance in Haiti is to get the resources directly to those Haitians we have a relationship with, who are longtime trusted friends, and who work with the poorest of the poor.

If you would like to help, our short term focus will be food, water and medical supplies. Long term, we will need to rebuild the schools, orphanages and housing for the kids and their families. We have partners on the ground ready to distribute food and get to work rebuilding. Any contribution will be put to use with great efficiency. - Joe White
