Help Hurricane Victims in Haiti & Cuba

The Pan American Development Foundation is helping the victims of storms in Haiti and Cuba. You can be part of the relief effort.

Cuba update: The country’s worst recorded natural disaster caused $5 billion in damages across the island, leaving 200,000 people homeless. Ongoing relief efforts are helping to rebuild after these terrible storms. PADF has permission to provide humanitarian relief to Cubans.

Haiti update: This extremely poor country has been devastated by four storms that ravaged all ten departments, causing as many as 800 deaths. The situation is only slightly improved now –many thousands of people are still suffering. Risk of infectious disease is high. And in the coming months, the need for food aid will increase as 60% of all crops were washed away. PADF’s staff in Haiti has provided food, water, shelter, and medical supplies to victims throughout Haiti. Agricultural recovery – the basis of long-term stability – has begun. More is on the way – but needs greatly outweigh supplies.

You can be part of the effort to help your neighbors during these natural disasters.

The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) meets the urgent needs of disaster victims by mobilizing immediate support and engaging its on-the-ground network. PADF is one of the leaders in natural disaster relief in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Through PADF’s Pan American Relief initiative, you can be a part of the solution, too. Your tax-deductible donation can help make a difference in the lives of people affected by natural disasters.
