A massive and immediate international response is needed to provide food, water, shelter and medical supplies for tens of thousands of people effected by the devastating earthquake in Port-au-Prince.

Earthquakes are acts of nature but extreme vulnerability to a natural disaster is not. Haiti is one of the world’s poorest countries.

For two decades, Partners In Health (PIH)’s has successfully built a sustainable, community-based public health system for the people of Haiti. Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of PIH has made it his mission to transform healthcare on a global scale, by focusing on the world’s poorest and sickest.

Partners In Health is a well established effective aid organization working in Haiti. PIH has hospitals and highly trained medical staff in place in Haiti, they’ve already mobilized resources and are preparing plans to bring additional medical assistance and supplies to areas that have been hardest hit.

I urge you to join me in contributing to relief efforts underway in Haiti. Right now the greatest need is financial support. Make a gift today to help the people of Haiti.

DONATE NOW TO PIH's EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND

To learn more about public health issues facing Haiti before the earthquake, Partners In Health and my hero Dr. Paul Farmer I highly recommend Tracy Kidder’s book Mountains Beyond Mountains.
