"Support Haiti Relief and Recovery Efforts The survivors of the devastating earthquake in Haiti need our immediate help. What we do right now determines how many lives we can save. Together, we can help communities get back on their feet. Fill out the form below to donate to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. One hundred percent of your donation will go toward relief and recovery efforts in Haiti. You should receive a confirmation email within 48 hours." |
The first few days of a disaster and handled by local governments, then foreign (government) aid arrives, and then the massive charities arrive soon after; and this help lasts for months and comes mostly from resources that were collected months or years before the disaster happened. The money you’re spending today is on the recovery and rebuilding of Haiti, and in countries that have very low corruption a large portion of this money disappears because of fraud; in a country as corrupt as Haiti (it has been one of the most corrupt countries in the world as long as I can remember) it is unlikely that any of the money you spend to rebuild Haiti will go towards rebuilding Haiti.
