How you can help

 

 

 


As we all know, the devastation in Haiti is tremendous in numerous ways. The shear loss of life is staggering at best, estimates are somewhere around 200,000+ loss of life, and over 300,000+ injured. Over 700,000 in Port Au Prince have been displaced.

The logistics of getting help and humanitarian supplies to those needing them, is riddled with so many holes and gaps that it is not believable. Not to even broach the fact of displaced children that are now without parents, and those that were in the process of being adopted just prior to this devastating quake. Kathleen Strottman, executive director of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, estimates that there were more than 900 orphans in the process of being adopted into American homes when the quake struck.

So what can we do, to help Haiti and those that are so desperatly in need there? Direct donations of money to help organizations that have a presence in Haiti now is going to be the best primary way of effecting a positive change. Donations of food, clothing, medicine etc... of course will help, but please remember that there are the logisitics of getting those items from here to there. And the costs involved to do so.

haiti outreachHaiti Outreach

About them: The Mission of Haiti Outreach

“To collaborate with the people of Haiti to build and maintain community-initiated projects that advance their development.”

This is how we operate – this is what we do – in order to bring this vision into reality. Each part of our mission statement is very important in describing what we do:
We collaborate with the people of Haiti – We work with neighbors, community groups, local governments and the national government in rural Haiti as well as more populated areas.
We build and maintain projects – A crucial aspect of our projects is that they are created to be sustainable on a long-term basis. Our projects are thus designed to develop Haiti, not just provide relief. Community groups use the economy, the exchange of money for services, to sustain these projects so that they are not dependent on us for their maintenance and repair. Even though most people are very poor, they contribute something for the services they receive. These funds are saved by the community, supervised publicly with transparency, to be used as needed for the project’s upkeep.
Projects are community-initiated – Our projects are initiated by the people in these communities, not by us. Community participation and responsibility continues throughout the entire life of any project, from beginning to end, and then beyond.

Our work to date has been in the three major areas of clean water, education, and economic development. We collaborate with many other organizations on our projects and hope to expand our services to include agriculture, medical services, and infrastructure such as roads and electricity.
