Haiti Earthquake

On August 14, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti followed by a 5.2 magnitude just 20 minutes later. This earthquake was shallow, at only about 6 miles deep, meaning the shaking effects will be more intense. All Hands and Hearts has a deep and long affiliation with Haiti, its communities, and its people, which has compelled us to think creatively about how we might provide support in other ways. We have reached out to past partners and are determining their needs and how we as an organization, and you as potential donors might best be able to assist with their much-needed response and recovery efforts.

Please consider donating here and we will redesignate these funds to trusted partner organizations working on the ground to support this community.
