In response to the earthquake that has recently devastated Haiti, Jesuit Missions is launching an appeal for emergency relief in solidarity with the great many whose lives have been affected. The country, already among the world's most severely poverty-stricken, must now also contend with widespread displacement, loss of life and crippling infrastructural damage. The British Province of the Society of Jesus has already pledged £100,000.00 and, with your support, we hope to substantially increase this figure. The funds will be urgently channelled through our Jesuit contacts in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Unlike others who are trying to help the stricken people of Haiti, we already have an infrastructure on the ground, and so can channel funds more effectively. With the assistance of imported doctors, five crisis centres have been opened and a further two are soon to be operational.

Please give whatever you can in support of those in such desperate need. Every penny of your donation will be passed on, as will all additional gift aid contributions.
