We at The Peace Alliance stand together in support of the people of Haiti. Our hearts go out to everyone in Haiti and all their loved ones around the world. There is so much suffering on our planet and people who are in need of help, yet the earthquake devastation in Haiti is particularly heartbreaking.

We have heard from quite a few people asking what they can do to help. Below is a list with many organizations who are already on the ground in Haiti. If you feel so moved, please make a contribution to one of these or your favorite charity.

While there are many good organizations you can support, we are directly familiar with the following two. These groups do long-term sustainable development and conflict resolution work (both have people on the ground in Haiti helping with this crisis).

Mercy Corps  
Mercy Corps works almost exclusively in high-risk conflict and post-conflict environments, implementing innovative conflict resolution and peacebuilding programs which will be essential to Haiti both now and moving forward.  They are working specifically to deliver rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities in Haiti.

Grameen Haiti
For years, Grameen Foundation has been using microfinance and technology to help Haitians move themselves out of poverty.  Grameen is working to help the nation recover from this recent disaster and will continue, as hard as it may be to imagine, to help their local partners build a Haiti that is more prosperous than pre-earthquake conditions.

The following organizations (listed alphabetically) already have teams in place in Haiti to assess the damage and provide the emergency medical care, food, clean water and shelter that people need.
