Haiti Earthquake Emergency

Haiti Earthquake Emergency

Haiti is in a state of emergency.

On January 12, a 7.0 earthquake hit ten miles west of the country’s capital city, Port-au-Prince.  An analyst at the U.S. Geological Survey said that “substantial damage and casualties are expected.”

Damage is already obvious, with a collapsed hospital and houses that have tumbled into nearby ravines.

Communication is nearly impossible, though we were able to speak with the country director, Mendelson Cesar, about thirty minutes after the earthquake.  Since then, phone lines have been jammed and we are still waiting to hear the status of the children in our care.  We will release that information as soon as we receive it.

To the impoverished people of Haiti, who have already endured so much suffering, this type of natural disaster is nothing short of catastrophic.  Please pray for them as they recover from the shock of this earthquake and begin to rebuild their lives.

We are asking for your assistance as we provide this urgently needed relief. The people of Haiti are desperate right now.  Please give whatever you can to our Emergency Relief Fund so that Childcare Worldwide can send aid right away.
