What you can do to help people in Haiti
Hello everyone,
A horrifying earthquake has killed many people in Haiti (Action Aid says there's an unconfirmed death toll of around 50,000 people). About 3 million people have had their way of life and homes destroyed by the earthquake (source: Action Aid). This is absolutely heartbreaking and terrible beyond belief. Along with the countless number of people killed, there are many who have badly injured and disabled by this disaster.
You can help donate to various charities to send much needed relief to people in Haiti. Salvation Army has an Appeal for the Haiti Earthquake (where you can donate) here:
https://salvos.org.au/donate/secure-online-donations/?appeal=drhaiti
Action Aid plans to provide these urgent necessities to the people devastated by the earthquake in Haiti:
-food and clean water
-shelter, blankets
- hygienic products
ActionAid staff in Haiti are already working to send relief ASAP.
ActionAid is aiming to raise $1.6 million across its International network for immediate relief. This could provide water, food and shelter for around 20,000 people.

Aussies can donate by ringing 1300 66 66 72
You can also act to save animals injured by the earthquake. Do this by contacting the WSPA on 1300 13 97 22.
I can't express enough in words how much volunteers and donations are seriously needed and appreciated. Thank you so much if you do help. Every bit helps.
