Riverbed Technology Cares's Haiti Response Fundraiser
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.
Message from Riverbed Technology Cares:
Help me raise money for Mercy Corps' response to the Haiti Earthquake.
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.
Thank you!

Comments from donors
It's heartbreaking to see what's happening to the little children in Haiti. My 6-year-old son puts aside some of his allowance each week for charity, and is adding all that he has saved to our donation. Thanks for making it easy, RVBD!
