Our emergency response team is on the ground in Port-Au-Prince. Resources are scarce in the capital and our approach, as always, is to work closely with and support Haitians as they work to respond to this emergency. Our response team in Haiti is working right now to pull together a team of local staff. Working with local partners is key to our approach in all emergencies and the Haiti response is no different.

Transport within Haiti is challenging, there is no electricity in the city, and cell networks and internet are just beginning to return, but the need is incredibly urgent and the effort is vigorous despite conditions.

Please know that you can always trust the American Refugee Committee to put your money to work. We have been responding to disasters and humanitarian emergencies for 30 years. And 89 cents of each $1 we raise goes directly to help survivors of conflict and disaster.
