PLEASE DONATE!

As many of you know, tropical storm Fay, hurricanes Gustav, Hanna, and Ike made a devastating impact on many of the poorest parts of Haiti. These storms have wiped out lives, homes and livelihood and increased the strain on a country which already has enormous difficulties. In addition, during this time of year families are scrambling to face the coming school year which is already one of the most stressful and difficult times for families in Haiti.

Rural Haiti Project will partner with organizations in Haiti and abroad to assist in rebuilding efforts and help parents and children meet essential needs.

Any and all donations are needed, no matter how small, because in large numbers we can make a huge difference.
