Haiti Earthquake: Some Ways to Donate

I’m sure you’re all aware of the truly devastating earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday (you can read in-depth coverage in all newspapers including The Times, the Guardian, New York Times and on the BBC)

There are great organisations out there doing what they can to help – and we can too.  So, I thought it might be handy, if you would like to donate to support their efforts and the people of Haiti, to set out a couple of quick links to donation pages for you:

If you’re in the UK, the government is advising that you donate to the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal (a coalition of 13 relief agencies: ActionAid, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Care International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide, Help the Aged, Islamic Relief, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision); alternatively you could go to:

international humanitarian organisation CARE;

The Salvation Army;

The International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; and

Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders.
