Giving Children A Living Chance
Published:  12 March, 2010

The earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday 12th January is one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of our time.  The death toll is estimated to be over 200,000 and the destruction of capital city Port Au Prince and the surrounding slums of Cite Soleil is near total. 

World Emergency Relief (WER), a children’s emergency relief charity was funding and supporting The Goods Samaritan’s school in Port au Prince when the earthquake struck. The school has now become a focal point for the community, housing 1,000 homeless Haitians in the school grounds and providing vital food and medical equipment. Alongside emergency aid, WER are now fundraising to re-build the school, which provided education to children from the surrounding slums of Cite Soleil. This will be vital for the long-term reconstruction and future of Haiti.
