Haiti before the earthquake was already one of the poorest nation on earth. Then on January 12, 2010 a major earthquake hit with a magnitude of 7.0 which devastated Haiti. The capital, Port-au-Prince, was flattened with all the government buildings, leaving the government cripple. Over 200,000 people perished, leaving millions homeless in deplorable conditions in tent cities.

Over the past year and a half, Haiti Relief Fund has been helping people in many tent cities by providing food, clothing, shelter and hygiene materials such as soap and chlorine bleach to fight contagious diseases and Cholera which is part of Haiti Relief Fund’s mission to continue as humanitarian relief.

If you can imagine Haiti as one of the world’s poorest countries, and then with such an enormous tragedy, emergency care and health care  become and remain vital. Haiti Relief Fund has been helping by making large donations of medical supplies and equipment to almost all the public hospitals large and small, inside and out side of Port-au-Prince to help with the emergency and improve health care.

During the Cholera epidemic and now endemic, Haiti Relief Fund has been one of the most helpful in preventing and fighting Cholera by distributing and donating lactated ringers and chlorine bleach to almost all the CTC’s (Cholera Treatment Centers) and hospitals inside and outside Port-au-Prince.

During the months of May and June 2011, the Cholera epidemic exploded again, now in the 13 section communal of Carrefour. While Haiti Relief Fund’s Chairman Carlo Thertus was in an emergency response at the Mairie of Carrefour he learned that Cholera was ravaging the people deep within mountains, where NO other NGO goes to. Immediately, Haiti Relief Fund set up an expedition crew of 35 with mules loaded with Cholera prevention flyers, soaps, aqua-table, serum oral and chlorine bleach to reach the cholera victims in these mountain villages. Still today, we continue to send expedition crews on the 10 -13 hour walk  to the mountains to help fight Cholera. With your help, Haiti Relief Fund can and will continue to do such strategical and important work to help the people in need in Haiti.

Haiti Relief Fund is in the process of building a village of 14 prefabricated homes donated from SukUp Manifacturers and a Hospital in Croix-Des-Bouquets with the collaboration of the Mairie of Croix-Des-Bouquets and Doctors Operation Cuban.

Haiti Relief Fund is in the process of building schools for under-privilege children places where they never had a school before. The first, in memory of William Eisenberg Community School of Bedon, 14th Section Mone a Chandelle south east of Haiti. This school will give thousands of children that never go to school, the opportunity to go to school and you know the bread of education is the building block of any nation.
