Responding to the 7.2M Earthquake in Haiti
UPDATE 9.20
A month ago Haiti was hit by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake on Saturday, Aug. 14th that caused massive destruction and took many lives. HOPE worldwide has been active in supporting and loving our brothers and sisters in need. With the support of our partners HOPEww Haiti, the Caribbean Mission Society and other Haiti supporters we’ve been able to provide critical food and medicine to families.
In addition to the essential supplies provided, HOPEww and its partners are working to rebuild 10 homes that have been destroyed and provide extensive repairs to 11 additional homes and a partner orphanage that have been badly damaged.
We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of prayers, support and donations. Thank you for showing love to people in need.
Together we can inspire greater hope.
