The back to back hurricanes during the summer of 2008 created a severe situation in Haiti that affected over 800,000 people. The flood waters are going down and are gone in some places but have left total destruction in their place. Food and safe drinking water are in very short supply.
Death from water borne disease is the current highest killer followed by starvation, especially in children.
Millions of dollars in aid and support have been pouring into the country but it is only making a small impact upon what is needed. There have been recent food riots when supplies come in and security has heightened. There is just not enough to help everyone.
World Harvest Missions Outreach and New Life Childrens Home charities have been loading donations of food, water and medical supplies in containers for shipment and distribution in Haiti, while also working with Mayor Masters of Riviera Beach, Florida and other charities on distribution of donations of additional aid supplies.
World Harvest Missions Outreach has been bringing God’s Love, food, water and medical supplies to the remote villages of Haiti for 35 years plus rescuing sick and dying children bringing them to their Haiti Orphanage New Life Childrens Home to care for them and is always looking for people to join a Christian mission trip to Haiti.
Despite the 35 years of World Harvest Missions Outreach work along with the work of so many other charities collecting donations and non profit child charity groups and organizations over the years in Haiti, the Haitian people continue to suffer from setbacks because of the yearly hurricanes which always flood and pollute the drinking water and wipe out the food crops.
With the current state of economics in the world the United States along with many other countries cannot afford to continue trying to solve this problem with aid sent after the fact. A more permanent solution to this problem of unsafe drinking water and food shortages needs to be found and implemented before the hurricanes begin.
World Harvest Missions Outreach has joined forces with other charities to collect donations because they have found a solution for the unsafe water in Haiti and it is ready to be implemented with target dates of delivery and distribution in Haiti by the end of Feb. 2009 and are also in the research and development phase of an emergency food supply system to begin production sometime in 2009.
The solution for unsafe water in Haiti can be implemented from the manufacturing process thru distribution into Haiti for 7 pennies per day per person and is very simple to use plus completely portable in case of an emergency evacuation due to hurricanes and flooding.
The charities organizing donations are World Harvest Missions Outreach and Haiti orphanage New Life Childrens Home by starting a grass roots effort for a "Spare Change Drive". With the ability to give a person in Haiti safe water for 7 pennies per day, spare change collected can help lots of people.
Anyone interested in helping in this “Spare Change Drive” for these charities collecting donations should contact safewaternow@
Many charities have already joined this effort with donations because time is running out to order, ship and distribute throughout Haiti before the 2009 hurricane season.
