Last year, TAG responded to the horrific destruction in Haiti by financially supporting World Hope International. You can learn more about World Hope International here: https://www.worldhope.org/
Below is the update from WHI one year after the earthquake in Haiti.
“Recovery is not an overnight process. Anyone on the mend from a broken bone will tell you that. True recovery requires a little patience, a lot of care and an investment of time and resources to support restoration.World Hope International has been able to do much with the generous donations that streamed in following Haiti’s devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake. One year later, Haiti is working to rebound, and World Hope International has been there every step of the way.”
• 83,200 families received 12,800 food kits as part of WHI’s emergency provision.

Work Still to Do:
“One year later, through the support of compassionate people such as you, Haiti is recovering, but the nation is far from recovered. World Hope International has been dedicated to the renewal of Haiti since 1996. Our efforts before and after January 12, 2010 have helped manage the aftermath, but there is work still to do.”
