HELP HAITI CAMPAIGN

We’re sure you’re all aware of the disaster that has struck Haiti on 12^th January 2010, causing an unfolding humanitarian crisis. Many people have been killed and injured and there are also many who are in desperate need of clean water, shelter and medical help.

If you can donate a small amount of money to our page, your money will be going directly to the Disaster Emergency Commission who will ensure that aid can reach the people who need it most.

The Disaster Emergency Committee is an umbrella organisation for 13 humanitarian aid agencies.

The 13 member agencies are:

* ActionAid
* British Red Cross
* CAFOD
* Care International
* Christian Aid UK
* Concern Worldwide
* Help the Aged
