Earthquake in Haiti
On January 12, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck southern Haiti, creating a catastrophe that affected roughly 3 million people. Since then, World Vision has been working continuously to bring relief to those affected.
World Vision is beginning to implement more sustainable, large-scale programs that relate to: the safety and education of children; transitional and permanent shelters for families; clean water and properly sanitised living areas; medical care and health awareness programs; food security; and economic recovery and livelihoods.
Although progress is being made, the task remains enormous, with many challenges along the way. Haitians need to know that Canadians remain committed to helping them. Please donate today.
World Vision has been working in Haiti for over 30 years, helping an estimated 300,000 Haitians each year to overcome poverty through providing access to education, improved access to food and clean water and improved nutrition as well as helping families with improved medical care.
Emergency kits help provide things like tarps, blankets, soap, towels, personal hygiene items and cooking utensils at $55 per family. Please note these costs are estimates due to the urgency of the situation, and may vary.
