Published purpose

On January 12, 2010, a massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale rocked Port-au-Prince, the capital of the impoverished Caribbean nation of Haiti. It is estimated that up to 3,000,000 people have been affected by the disaster, either through injury or through loss of access to life-sustaining necessities such as food, water, sanitation services, and shelter. With CIDA support, Save the Children is helping to meet the life-saving health and protection needs of approximately 10,000 families affected by the Haiti earthquake. This includes the provision of safe drinking water, basic hygiene kits, and child-friendly spaces.
