Our teams are on the ground, caring for injured people, distributing mobility aids including wheelchairs and making sure aid reaches the most vulnerable people living in isolated areas.

Can your school help by holding a Bring A Coin For Haiti collection, holding a non-uniform day or bake sale during morning break? Our free Presentation (PDF slideshow with notes) for assemblies, lessons or tutor groups gives an insight into the situation on the ground and what Handicap International is doing right now to support the most vulnerable.

Andrénise, seen in this photo with her young son, was hit by a brick during the hurricane. She tells us, “I thought I was going to die, I screamed for Jesus to save me”. Please can you help our emergency teams in Haiti respond to this awful disaster in one of the poorest countries in the world.

Thank you for supporting our emergency response,
