Haiti response

MCC has worked in Haiti since 1958 in the areas of relief, development and peace through partnerships with local initiatives, congregations and denominations that seek to meet basic human needs.  

The catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010, is one the worst humanitarian disasters in the history of Western Hemisphere. Estimates are that more than 1 million people were displaced from their homes and more than 200,000 killed. The international community has responded with a tremendous outpouring of compassion for the people of Haiti. We especially commend the response from the governments of the United States and Canada. And we call people in Canada and the United States to prayer and action for Haiti as MCC works alongside Haitian partners.

MCC is committed to approaching Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake in a way that holds the dignity of the Haitian people above all, and is just and sustainable, addressing immediate needs and creating an environment for positive, long-term development.
