HELP FOR HAITI

A fierce 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti late Tuesday afternoon on January 12, 2010, bringing even more suffering to a nation that was already the hemisphere’s poorest and most disaster-prone. Centered 10 miles from Port Au Prince the capital of Haiti , it was the worst earthquake to hit the region in over 200 years and the devastation has been enormous.

The most desperate and immediate needs of the more than 3 million Haitians who have been impacted by the disaster are food, water, shelter and medical care / medical supplies.

The phases leading to recovery

 ·        Search and rescue including the use of heavy equipment to remove rubble in the search-and-rescue operations to save lives.

·        Immediate relief:  involves the provision of survivors with immediate needs such as medical assistance, food, clean water and shelter.

·        Short-term recovery: comes during the weeks and months after the immediate relief effort. It includes providing temporary housing, temporary schools, the initial rebuilding of infrastructure and services for displaced families

·        Long-term recovery: This phase is measured in years, and includes livelihood restoration and permanent rebuilding of homes, schools and infrastructure.

G.I.A.N.T. will be involved in providing capacity and also providing funds to support medical assistance, and the provision of food, clean water and shelter.

To support long-term recovery efforts we will help rebuild safer, healthier and more sustainable communities.

We will assist with the development of local capacity by providing technical assistance, and also by providing cash assistance to local groups for the purchasing of relief supplies locally which will support the local economy, and contribute to the recovery process.
