PROJECT SUMMARY
On January 12, 2010, Haiti experienced the worst earthquake in the country’s history. The nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and its 3 million residents were devastated by the disaster. Thousands are estimated to be dead and even larger numbers are now struggling to survive without shelter or access to basic resources. In response to this tragedy, Citizen Effect has partnered with CARE to ensure that the earthquake’s survivors receive the food, water, and medical aid they urgently need as quickly as possible. Although Citizen Effect does not focus on emergency relief, we have initiated a partnership with CARE to provide critical assistance in Haiti. CARE has operated in Haiti since 1954, working with local communities and other aid organizations to achieve sustainable development. In that timeframe, CARE has also provided emergency relief when necessary, recently as 2008 in the wake of a serious hurricane. This project will help provide the earthquake’s survivors with the clean water, shelter, food, and the medical attention they urgently need. Its funding will also support the deployment of additional CARE staff who will join the 133 team members already on the ground in Haiti as they develop and implement an appropriate response plan. Join Citizen Effect and CARE in our efforts to provide immediate assistance to the thousands of Haitians who are struggling to cope with this tragic disaster.
