ADRA is on the ground in Haiti, preparing for immediate relief for earthquake survivors
Families are panicking as they search for loved ones in the rubble of the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that destroyed large portions of Port-au-Prince, Haiti on January 11. Many children, women, and men are already mourning the loss of family members.
Homes, businesses, schools, and at least one hospital have been destroyed. ADRA is on the ground in Haiti preparing immediate response. Rescue and medical teams are forming.
"Our country is devastated. Haiti needs everything now, (food, medicines, medical personnel, clean water) nevertheless your prayers are very important. Please pray for us now," writes Ketteline Israel, ADRA Haiti.
We know from our long experience in relief and development that in a disaster of this magnitude ADRA will program at least $1 million in the long-term, however we urgently need $500,000 in the next 7 days. We have already procured millions of water purification tablets, however we are still procuring food, generators, tents, and medicines that are desperately needed. Will you help?
ADRA has been working in Haiti for more than 30 years providing relief and development. We have a long history of improving the lives of women and children through nutritional and maternal health initiatives. Please send your gift today, to help our ADRA workers alleviate the intense suffering of a nation already in great need even before the earthquake struck.
Sincerely,
Pastor Charles Sandefur President, ADRA International
