"Omega Phi Chi Sorority Cares" Haiti Response Fundraiser

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon, collapsing buildings, including at least one hospital. With communications from the area disrupted, the situation is unclear -- but with continued aftershocks and eyewitness accounts of "total disaster" and chaos, there are fears of catastrophic damage and widespread casualties.

Mercy Corps is deploying an emergency response team to help survivors. Follow the latest updates at mercycorps.org/haiti.

"Omega Phi Chi Sorority Cares" is helping to raise money for Mercy Corps' response to the Haiti Earthquake. Our organization is deeply impacted by the tragedy and our hearts and prayers go out to all of the families that are affected.

Join the Sophisticated Sisters of Omega Phi Chi Sorority by making a donation today. No matter how big or small, every dollar counts. Our goal is to raise $1000 to support Mercy Corps' in the effort to assist those that have been devastated by this natural disaster.

Thank you!

Project summary

Just hours after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti — killing thousands and displacing up to two million people — Mercy Corps began deploying an experienced, field-tested emergency response team. Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince, we went immediately to work, talking with displaced survivors about what they needed most. We delivered 15 tons of food to the city's biggest hospital. We got clean water flowing again in medical clinics and shattered neighborhoods. We ensured a reliable income for survivors by creating a cash-for-work program, which also began revitalizing failing local economies. Today, our team is working with survivors, local authorities and partner organizations on long-term plans — including job creation — that will help Haiti rebuild better and stronger.
