Operational Summary:
ActionAid urgently requests donations in support of relief efforts delivered by its dedicated response and operations team in Haiti, where they are focused on providing psychosocial support, protection and access to clean water, food, sanitation and shelter. ActionAid Haiti was the first agency to visit the town of Marianni and distribute food and medicine to many of the 9,000 who have been made homeless. The scale of devastation completely overwhelms all available resources. Yet in the midst of the catastrophe, ActionAid’s Haiti representative Jude Jean Baptiste says, “I feel really proud of my country. People are working together to help one another.”
