Your Donations at Work - How are we doing?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY
THE HAITI DISASTER RELIEF PROJECT IS COMPLETE

ATLANTA, GA – On March 31, 2010, The Haitian Alliance, Inc. celebrated the completion of its participation in the Haiti Disaster Relief Project. The Haiti Disaster Relief Project (HDRP) was formed on January 13, 2010, barely 24 hours after the catastrophic 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Port-au-Prince and neighboring areas. The Haitian Alliance met with members of 23 other Haitian organizations, as well as unaffiliated members of metro-Atlanta’s growing Haitian community to create the Haiti Disaster Relief Project.

Based on a framework created by The Haitian Alliance, the group set out to collect, ship, distribute and report on the most urgent of needs of the men, women and children in Haiti, thousands of whom were left homeless, injured and without the most basic necessities. Thanks to the rapid response and tremendous outpouring of support from the Atlanta community and beyond, the HDRP was able to send its first shipment and delegation to Haiti within less than 2 weeks, delivering food, clothing, baby formula, diapers and medical supplies to several neighborhoods and hospitals in Port-au-Prince.

After the participation in the HDRP, The Haitian Alliance launched Project Haiti. The new initiative aims to create programs that will “feed the hungry, heal the sick, and shelter the homeless,” while fostering a successful transition to a more stable life and supporting the Haitian people’s autonomy in making decisions about the country’s new direction.

On June 2nd, 2010, The Haitian Alliance hosted a meeting to report to the community and members of the Haiti Disaster Relief Project Team, a complete accounting of donations made through the organization from January 13th, 2010 through March 31st, 2010. Please click below for the detailed report.
