How do I make a donation to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Haiti? What is Episcopal Relief & Development doing in Haiti?
Since the January 2010 earthquake, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti and its relief and development arm, CEDDISEC (Centre Diocesain de Développement et de Secours) on humanitarian work. In the early phase of this crisis, we worked with the Diocese of Haiti and the Diocese of the Dominican Republic, as well as IMA World Health, an organization providing medical assistance in and around Port-au-Prince. In Haiti, we supported the diocese’s provision of food, health care, water, shelter, sanitation and other emergency supplies to more than 60,000 survivors in eight localities around Haiti. As part of our ongoing recovery efforts, our support is assisting an additional 40,000 people with short-term employment, provisional homes and community and household sanitation systems. Our staff will continue to work closely with the diocese and CEDDISEC on the long-term humanitarian response to this disaster. Visit www.er-d.org/Haiti fo
