Earlier I posted an AP article detailing how poor Haitians are being forced to eat mud cookies because the cost of food has gone up due to the increased cost of oil. Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry, I neglected to mention anything about you can help. (Thanks, Amy!)
I have been to Haiti twice and solidarity work for the last several years. Due to the political situation there, it is often hard to know which organization is the best able to help at any given time, so I will list a few resources.
To get educated on Haiti and its dire human rights situation, you can visit The Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti and The Haiti Action Committee.
You can donate to Zanmi Lasante's child nutrition program. Zanmi Lasante is a program of Partners in Health, founded by Dr. Paul Farmer - a truly amazing man.
You can make a donation to the Vanguard Foundation's Haiti Emergency Relief Fund.
You can advocate for forgiving Haiti's debt (courtesy of Haiti Reborn).
