Haiti Programme Announcement, June 2010

After several weeks on assessment EDV is now officially launching Programme Port-au-Prince.

Our programme will aim to do more than provide relief – we hope to empower survivors to direct their own recovery. By working closely with community members we can affect change that will far outlive our presence here in Haiti.  

Our work on the ground has been greatly aided by our partner here in Haiti, GrassRoots United (GRU). GRU is an international disaster response organization that provides resources and connectivity to groups looking to operate quickly in disaster environments. With a focus on continuity and community involvement GRU strives to ensure that community collaboration continues long after international aid groups move on.

You can read more about our programme here.

We aren't yet registering volunteers for deployment. If you're interested in volunteering when we start welcoming international volunteers, please contact us.

For real time updates from Haiti, follow us on twitter. You can also find us on facebook.

We have the power to affect long-term change in the lives of disaster survivors, but we can't do it alone. Please give generously.
