The international aid organization Habitat for Humanity is actively engaged in an emergency aid program for the worst earthquake in recent history that recently struck of region of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Habitat for Humanity specializes in first-aid measures, the reconstruction of homes in disaster areas and the construction of adequate shelter for poor families.

Hundreds of thousands of people are affected in the region of Port-au-Prince by this severe earthquake of magnitude 7.0 and the subsequent humanitarian catastrophe. The emergency assistance by Habitat for Humanity is in full swing: drinking water, toilets and soup kitchens are beeing provided in makeshift camps. In addition, Habitat for Humanity has begun the immediate cleanup and construction of temporary shelters. The next step is to provide durable transitional shelters for the victims.

Habitat for Humanity has spent the last 26 years working in Haiti and therefore is in a position to use its local office to provide immediate relief supplies and later to help coordinate the long-term reconstruction process. The number of casualties among the 3 million inhabitants and the massive destruction in the densely populated areas of Port-au-Prince is not yet estimated.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, where 55% of the population survive on less than $ 1 per day.

Apart from checking the notice of exemption of the German fiscal authorities ("charitability"), betterplace does not assess this project. Since there are thousands of projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.
