Charities we support

REBUILD HAITI supports these charities at work in Haiti:

Doctors Without Borders is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. In emergencies and their aftermath, DWB provides essential health care, rehabilitates and runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgery, responds to epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding programs for malnourished children, and offers mental health care. When needed, DWB also constructs wells, dispenses clean drinking water and provides shelter materials like blankets and plastic sheeting.

On any given day, close to 27,000 doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, administrators, and other qualified professionals can be found providing medical care in international teams made up of local DWB aid workers and their colleagues from around the world.

Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built, rehabilitated, repaired or improved more than 350,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1.75 million people.

Habitat has set a goal of helping 50,000 earthquake-affected families in Haiti improve shelter conditions. The organization’s multi-year plan includes distributing emergency shelter kits, debris recycling and removal, house repairs, transitional shelter, new construction and on-the-job training in house construction. Through all aspects of its work, Habitat strives to cultivate partnerships with local residents and other humanitarian organizations that can multiply the effectiveness of its response in Haiti.

Heifer International is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to relieving global hunger and poverty. It provides gifts of livestock and plans, as well as education in sustainable agriculture, to financially-disadvantaged families around the world.
Heifer has set a goal to raise $3 million to fund a multi-year recovery restoration effort in Haiti. Staff will assess project and partner needs and provide rapidly productive agricultural and livestock resources to help families meet medium- to long-term needs. Efforts will focus on helping restore land and access to clean water. Staff will begin to establish partnerships with complementary agencies for program and funding strategies. Heifer will support sustainable recovery of family farms through training, reforestation, improved small animal species (poultry, swine and ruminants) and soil conservation methods over three to five years. As residents migrate to smaller towns, Heifer will work with other agencies to identify areas with the most concentrated need and opportunity for Heifer’s assistance.
