$100 or more can provide an abandoned child with a bed, food and medical treatment for almost a month.

Just a small amount of money, can make a huge difference.

Q: Why should I give The Global Haiti Initiative my support?
A:  In 2008, several Hurricanes pounded Haiti. They say that the storms destroyed 15 percent of the country`s GDP or the equivalent of 8 to 10 Hurricane Katrina’s hitting the U.S. in one month. These hurricanes created flooding everywhere, a food shortage, and a breeding ground for diseases and illness. The country is in a dire situation and needs outside assistance. As the future leaders of tomorrow, we are able to help this country by developing our sustainable community projects from the bottom up level of community development.
