Apoye los Esfuerzos de Recuperación tras el Terremoto en Haití
Haiti's devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010 worsened an already desperate situation for a nation in which half the population lived on less than one dollar a day, with official unemployment estimated at 70%.
In the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake, we joined forces to establish the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. And on March 22, we visited Haiti to assess relief and recovery efforts. In the midst of profound challenges, we saw the astounding resilience, courage, and hope of the Haitian people. We saw their fierce resolution to rebuild their communities, neighborhoods, cities - their nation.
The initial efforts of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund focused on immediate relief and emergency assistance. While we will continue to seek to meet selected near-term needs, CBHF's primary focus will now shift towards longer-term reconstruction, job creation, and the promotion of economic opportunity. To learn more about both our initial and recent grants, please visit our Programs page.
Our aim will be to help Haiti transform itself from the poorest country in the western hemisphere, to a country where everyone has the opportunity to prosper. We're determined to help the people of Haiti not just rebuild, but to build back better. Help us chart Haiti's long-term recovery by contributing what you can. Even if you have already given, we ask you to consider another donation.
As they say in Haiti: Men anpil chay pa lou or Many hands lighten the load. Your donation makes an enormous difference.
