Haiti Appeal - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
Following the devastating Aug. 14 earthquake in Haiti, nearly 1,500 people are dead, thousands more injured and an unknown number still missing. Some 13,000 homes were destroyed and roads, bridges and communication systems damaged. Because Haiti is already facing endemic hunger and poverty, COVID-19, continuing civil unrest and the arrival of Tropical Storm Grace, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is providing emergency relief and short-term recovery through our established local partners and in collaboration with ACT Alliance. The PC(USA), through PDA, will remain active throughout the entire recovery process, accompanying our partners in the area as they determine long-term program needs and providing financial support for rebuilding and resilience.
