Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Claudia and Jonathan of Best Brides Wedding Exhibitions were shocked at the devastation caused by earthquake this January and the images of hundreds of thousands of families whose lives have been devastated.
Children under 18 make up nearly 50 per cent of the 10 million population of Haiti.
In the town of Jacmel this evening 2,500 kitchen kits and 5,000 1 litre bags of water will be distributed to enable the local population to prepare the food supplies by the World Food Programme.
A cargo plane will land this evening containing $500,000 of supplies to assist 10,000 people, including oral rehydration salts to combat deadly diarrhea episodes, water purifications tablets, tarpaulins and tents to provide temporary housing.
Another chartered cargo plane is expected to land tomorrow with more tarpaulins, blankets, emergency health kits, jerry cans and some other supplies.
UNICEF has released a total of $3.4 million toward the relief efforts from several emergency sources. The agency says that more funding, basic medical and health supplies, family kits/shelter and water hygiene and sanitation supplies are urgently needed.
Best Brides Wedding Exhibitions would like to raise just £1000 to help buy much need provisions and medical care.
