HAITI–PARTNER UPDATE: L’Athletique D’Haiti

An update from our partner in Port-au-Prince, L'Athletique d'Haiti.

January 24, 2010

A few days ago a 150 program participants showed up. Some with their families. As of Thursday, we had 50 families camping on site. They are being provided with food and water and are being sheltered by self-made or donated tents.

As expected, the people at LADH are maintaining order, collecting whatever bricks were left of the concrete wall surrounding the soccer fields to build a secure structure around the kitchen in order to ensure order during massive food distributions.

In 2008, named the
“#1 Exclusively Privately Funded Charity”
by Charity Navigator.
