Haiti’s Disaster

Haiti’s disastrous earthquake, on 12 January, left many thousands dead. Our concern now is for the living: we are appealing on behalf of Haitians who survived the earthquake, and are now struggling to survive a humanitarian disaster.

Progressio is there for the long haul. We’ll help Haiti rebuild, but before that, right now, people need  food, water, blankets, candles, tents, and medicines.  Please donate now to this Emergency Appeal for Haiti.

Progressio is one of the few organisations to already have a well developed presence in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. That means we can be of particular help in the disaster area, and why this appeal really matters.

We immediately assigned six Development Staff to the Haiti disaster. They are working with Ayuda a Haiti (Help Haiti), a coalition of 110 organisations, to make sure emergency aid is available, and to help coordinate the logistics and communications involved in getting it to people whom the earthquake left destitute.

Three more senior Progressio staff, all with specific disaster relief experience, are arriving in the earthquake zone now. Please donate now so that they can have maximum impact.
