Haiti: News and Donations

Lots of different sites have been linking to both charities as well as news sites that are giving constant updates on the situation in Haiti. I thought I’d put together a few links that I’ve seen elsewhere:

Red Cross: You can text “HAITI” to 90999; $10 will be added directly to your phone bill and donated towards American Red Cross relief for Haiti.

UNICEF is accepting donations that go towards helping children in Haiti right now

Yele Haiti: Wyclef Jean created this foundation in 2005 to benefit his birthplace, Haiti. Text “Yele” to 501501 to donate $5 to Yele Haiti. (Again added to your phone bill).

Save The Children: Donations go toward providing safe drinking water, medical attention and other necessities.
