Despite the media’s retreat, Convoy of Hope continues to provide aid in Haiti. As long-term relief plans are laid out, the pressing needs of earthquake survivors remains a top priority for Convoy of Hope teams on the ground.
“Our meal distributions have not slowed because the need has not diminished,” says Kary Kingsland, vice president of disaster response.

As relief continues, numbers are beginning to mount. Working with teams and partners on the ground, Convoy of Hope has distributed 6.5 million meals to three-quarter million Haitians.
The earthquake that struck on January 12 only lasted about 35 seconds but it will take years to rebuild Haiti. “As an organization we are committed to meeting immediate and long-term needs,” says Kingsland. “There are certain ways we are responding that achieve both efforts.” Convoy of Hope has already installed 325 water filtration units with a plan to install 4,000 in the coming days, weeks and months. By training locals to operate and install the units, Convoy of Hope provides clean water today… and tomorrow.
Still, the basic need for food and water in Haiti is immense.
Your gift can meet those needs. $10 can provide up to 50 meals.
