As a precautionary measure Convoy of Hope has pre-positioned supplies through its on-going feeding programs in strategic areas in Haiti to aid victims if Hurricane Tomas causes the devastation many experts are predicting.
“We are working closely with our partners on the ground in anticipation of Tomas,” says Jeff Nene, public relations officer for Convoy of Hope. “There are over 1 million people living in tent cities who are still trying to recover from the earthquake in January.”
Nene says Tomas and the devastation that could accompany it are on the minds of many Haitians. “Our hearts go out to the tens of thousands of families who are already suffering,” he adds. “We want to be in a position to help as many of those families as quickly as possible.”
Currently, Convoy of Hope is on track to be feeding 40,000 children every school day in the next few months. “The people of Haiti have remained resilient since the earthquake,” says Nene. “Now in the face of the cholera outbreak and this storm Convoy of Hope will stand with them by providing food and supplies to those in need.”
Stand with us as we stand with those in need around the globe.
