Helping Haiti's Children Thrive

In January 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti – killing 230,000 people, injuring 300,000 and leaving more than 1 million homeless.  This tragedy is the greatest natural disaster in recorded history in the Western Hemisphere.

 

The outpouring of prayers and support from caring individuals, schoolchildren, churches, civic groups, and businesses all over the globe has made an enormous difference in the lives of the many children and orphans.
