Meal delivery in La Creole, Les Cayes 🇭🇹 This community in southern Haiti was impacted by the 7.2 earthquake nearly a week ago. Many houses have sustained damage—some families have since been staying outside. We brought fresh meals with our partners @doWorkorg & @FirstMileImpact.

Please share with your networks! The OPLN is asking you to help our partners at @FirstMileImpact and @doWorkorg with securing supplies to assist their teams and families in the response to #Haitiearthquake2021.
We need to raise $100,000 this week to meet the immediate needs of our families. With your help, we’ll be able to stand by those who are in need the same way we did during the 2010 earthquake.

Heavy rain and strong winds from Tropical Storm Grace whipped through Haiti — just 2 days after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake battered the country, leaving tens of thousands homeless.

Lots of people saying lots of stuff about where to donate, who to trust, who not to trust, to help the response to the Haitian earthquake. The comments conversation tends to turn into a discussion on who’s corrupt and who’s not, which is probably satisfying… – at Brooklyn, NY

We visited a landfill about 20 minutes from our community to meet the waste collectors who work there. As our work expands to @FirstMileImpact families, we begin by listening to their stories and understanding what they need to succeed. We're thankful that they've welcomed us.
