Christian Aid's Haitian partners are helping communities begin the long recovery process after the country was pounded by a series of fierce storms.

Hurricanes Gustav and Ike and tropical storms Fay and Hanna have left more than 600 dead and up to a million people homeless. Now the massive scale of the task of rebuilding is becoming clearer every day as the floodwaters slowly subside.

Partners respond

With emergency funding from Christian Aid, five of our local partners are actively involved in relief efforts in Haiti.

• Aprosifa is supplying medicines, water purifiers, hygiene kits, blankets and emergency cash grants in the slum district of Carrefour Feuilles, near the capital Port-au-Prince.

• Gramir is providing food parcels, hygiene kits and school kits, and helping with roof repairs in Haiti's southern pensinsular.

• Child Care Haiti is supplying food parcels, water purifiers, rehydration salts and medicines. It is also running mobile health clinics in the northwest of the country, where there is a growing threat of water-borne disease such as malaria, diarrohea and typhus.

• Veterimed is supplying food baskets, hygiene kits and blankets in and around Port-au-Prince.

• Garr is supplying food parcels and water purifiers in central Haiti.

Our partners are reaching around 5,000 families - 25,000 people. But relief supplies are not reaching all those who need them, and we want to help more people.
