22 Jan 10 Ways To Donate To Haiti Relief
The disaster in Haiti defies any sort of words to describe the chaos that has ravaged most of the country. Roughly estimated, around 1/3 of the population is in need of the most basic aide in order to survive. That means millions are without simply food, water, shelter, as well as clean clothes and other hygiene accessories. Reading the news stories, and watching the devastation on TV makes you want to take action, to help those in need. If you’re feeling the need to help those that desperately need your assistance, here are a few ways:
Modern technology is fantastic. In addition to making our everyday lives easier, technology has made giving aide to those in need easier as well. By simply text messaging “Haiti” to the number 90999 you can make a $10 donation to the Red Cross. If you don’t have the ability to text, you can also send donations by calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or by visiting the charity’s website at RedCross.org.
Almost 50% of Haiti’s population is under the age of 18, meaning there are many minors also in need of special aide. One of the chief foundations offering clothing and other valuable resources is Kids In Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). You can reach K.I.D.S. by visiting their website at KidsDonations.org. They accept either cash donations to help the cause, or you can contact the charity and find out which items are acceptable for you to send as aide.
UNICEF is another one of the major humanitarian organizations that’s hard at work mobilizing to help the Haitian population. They provide food and other resources to as many in need as possible, and are in the process of raising $120million to aide the 50% of Haitians that are under the age of 18. To help this cause by donating, you can either visit the website UNICEFUSA.org, or call UNICEF at 1-800-4UNICEF.
If you are a frequent flyer for your job, or leisure, and you have a lot of frequent flyer miles saved up, you can also consult your airline to see if they are accepting frequent flyer mile donations. Many are accepting them, in order to reduce the cost of sending aide to Haiti via their airlines. If you have a few miles lying around, and you feel like doing all you can, get in contact with your preferred airline.
