HAITI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF 2021

On August 14, 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the southern peninsula of Haiti. Within 48 hours members of the We Reach Foundation were already on the ground in Haiti. Our Emergency Response plan was #BuyBackTheBlockHaiti. This plan included purchasing key items, locally in Haiti, that were needed in the areas of southern Haiti devastated by the earthquake. This accomplished both the goal to support those in need, but also the efforts to support the local economy. We have organized and distributed special care packages containing food, tarps, flashlights, toiletries, water filtration systems, etc., that have allowed us to take care of over 900 families. We are continuing to meet with community partners, work on short term, and long-term goals and assessments. We now have a new goal of impacting a minimum of 1000 families.

Areas Covered: Aquin, Ocayes, Anse-A-Veau, Camp-Perrin, Baraderes

Donation Impact: 900 + Families

Community Partners: Rotary Club of Leogane & Rotary Club of Ocayes, Rotary Club of Camp-Perrin
