ACT Alliance Support Reaching Haiti

In the chaos of aid distribution, ACT Alliance members are managing to get food, temporary shelter, water cleaning materials and expertise to the Haitian capital.

ACT in Haiti, healing the traumatised

Thousands of people in Port-au-Prince - injured, hungry and desperate - have spent days outdoor in the demolished capital of Haiti without food or shelter. Desperate Haitians have blocked streets with corpses in anger. Food is stocking up at the airport, but has not yet been distributed. A great deal of the population is traumatized, and ACT Alliance is now sending in experts on psycho-social support.

The psycho-social specialists will assist the population of Haiti to get going in their difficult state of life, support them in getting together and be able to talk and process their traumatic experiences. ACT Alliance, a global coalition of church based humanitarian agencies, has long experience in psycho-social work under emergencies.

Our thoughts and prayers with the people of Haiti as well as with emergency responders

Two ACT Alliance staff members in Haiti are unaccounted for, others are scrambling to find loved ones, and still others are in shock after surviving building collapses.

Although communications from the capital Port-au-Prince is scant, ACT members working in the country and through partners are still worried about the fate of their colleagues.
