Operation Compassion Responds to Haitian Earthquake Victims

If you would like to give to the relief in Haiti, I highly recommend giving through Operation Compassion. Last year, Operation Compassion was named by Forbes Magazine as the most efficient non-profit Relief Organization in America. I have listed below information about the Haiti earthquake and how you can make a donation if you would like to help. Thanks so much!

Operation Compassion Responds to Haitian Earthquake Victims
By admin, January 13, 2010

Late Tuesday afternoon a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck 10 miles southwest of the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The destruction is massive and buildings, homes, hospitals and many other structures have collapsed. The human toll is unknown as scores of injured seek medical help. Rescuers continue to search for trapped victims as screams, groans and cries for help could be heard throughout the night.

During the past five years, Operation Compassion has averaged sending more than 10 – 40 ft containers a month with relief goods to Haiti. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world and poorest in the western hemisphere with 80% of the population living below poverty standards and 50% unemployment.


Collapse: Much the Haiti National Palace was destroyed in the massive earthquake
Haiti has been in virtual disaster mode for several years due to civil unrest, multiple hurricane and tropical storm hits.

With Operation Compassion’s continual shipping of goods and supplies into Haiti, more than 20 containers are arriving this week and during the next several weeks, disaster relief distribution can begin immediately and survivors can start piecing their lives together.

Last night, four of our key Haitian partners contacted us regarding our response. These partners are experienced with Haitian disaster relief and have warehouses, trucks, hospitals and employees on site.
