Children in Haiti desperately need your help

YOU CAN HELP SAVE CHILDREN IN HAITI - EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.

 

UNICEF field staff are racing against time to save the lives of tens of thousands of children who are injured, thirsty, and separated from their families. They need your help.



Please give as generously as possible – children's lives depend on it.


The first wave of UNICEF emergency supplies – enough for 10,000 families – have already been airlifted into Port-au-Prince including:


• 10,000 tarpaulins

• 4,600 water containers

• 5.5 million water purification tablets

• More than half a million oral rehydration

  sachets, tents and trauma kits


Further supply flights will arrive over the coming days, and 500 cartons of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food are being transported in from the neighbouring Dominican Republic.


The situation could not be worse.


The quake hit just miles from the densely populated capital of Port-au-Prince. Haiti has little to no means to help its population; its economy is severely depressed and social services are practically non-existent after years of political strife.


Children are already bearing the brunt of this major catastrophe.


Unicef urgently need your help so that they can reach every child who needs them.


Any support you can offer as a company or individual to Unicef is greatly appreciated.


Thank you.

The Team at APX
