The organization is rushing to provide clean water for survivors in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas and deliver emergency services in nutrition, sanitation and hygiene. ACF is filling more than 20 large bladder tanks with clean water each day in affected areas of Port-au-Prince and Leogane; distributing high-protein biscuits and hygiene kits to thousands of vulnerable families in displacement camps; establishing emergency shelter for pregnant and lactating women; and providing urgent nutrition, medical, water, and sanitation support in Gonaives health centers, which have experienced an influx of patients since the quake. | $2,800,000 | 247 W 37th Street 10th Floor | New York | NY | 10018 | 877-777-1420 x117 | http://actionagainsthunger.org | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | Action Aid International USA | http://www.actionaidusa.org | ActionAid has a long-established program in Haiti. We have been working there since 1997 with more than 30,000 people annually. ActionAid supports poor people’s rights and needs, working at a practical level to improve access to basic services. We also lobby the government and others for changes to the policies and practices that affect poor people’s lives. With our projects, we are able to guarantee access to food supply, treated water, health services and education for people living in poverty both in Port-au-Prince and rural areas. After the devastating earthquake in January 2010, ActionAid concentrated its efforts and resources on providing food for more than 3,000 families and distributing other emergency relief items such as blankets, kitchen equipment, toothbrushes, towels and clothing. We have also trained community volunteers to help with emotional care. Four months later, ActionAid is focusing on Haiti’s rehabilitation plan. A three-year earthquake response and rehabilitation plan covers immediate needs, shelter, livelihoods, education, disaster risk reduction, policy and governance. Over the next few months, we will be moving from emergency relief to medium-term interventions such as cash/food for work, livelihoods initiatives and strengthening our work on psychosocial and protection. We are also planning on building a number of transitional shelters and developing a strategy to help relocate earthquake survivors. ActionAid’s three-year reconstruction program focuses on provision of psychosocial support to our partner organizations and communities, shelter/housing, livelihoods, women’s rights, protection for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and vulnerable populations, education, disaster risk reduction and advocacy around official reconstruction policy. | The number of rights-holders reached is defined through our participatory approach involving ActionAid, the partner organization and the communities themselves. A needs assessment in all development areas is facilitated by all actors mentioned above to define the difficulties and the number of victims that are to receive support. Once this number is identified, the most vulnerable are prioritized for the implementation of the response. | $929,199 | $89,089 | $153,728 | $89,089 | $12,679,697 | $2,400,000 | 42 | Peter O'Driscoll | Executive Director | (202)-835-1240 | Claudine Andre | Communications Coordinator | claudine.andre@action.org | 1420 K Street NW Suite 900 | Washington | DC | 20005 | 800-957-1768 | http://www.actionaidusa.org | |||||||||

ADF maintains a strong interest in Haiti’s relief, reconstruction and development. ADF organized an immediate on the ground emergency response to the devastation caused by the earthquake on January 12, 2010. ADF continues to work in relief, recovery and development activities in Haiti. ADF’s current objectives in Haiti are: 1) To continue to assist in the provision of urgently needed humanitarian assistance using a community-based model that carefully targets beneficiaries through their own existing or emergent organizational and leadership structures. This ADF model of cooperation and support has proven effective in mobilizing IDP camp leadership and other community based organizations to address needs of earthquake victims in IDP camps and local communities; 2) To build transitional shelters for IDPs and transition into providing low income permanent housing sector solutions responsive to Haitian needs; 3) To ensure human rights are better protected especially for victims of violence especially women and children and essential services provided to victims; 4) To promote social and economic regeneration and development of Haitian communities. | ADF calculates the number of people reached in its activities through data collected by technical surveys and interviews. | $746,793 | 88.50% | 11.50% | $696,793 | 93.30% | 6.70% | 3 | 4 | Michael Miller | President | (703)-836-2717 ext 110 | 101 N.

| 8 | American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) | http://www.afsc.org | Since 1989, AFSC was working on advancing social rights and quality of life in communities in the rural and impoverished areas of Grande Anse Department in western Haiti. Devolvement of this work had just been finalized when the earthquake hit Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. Responding to the ongoing Haitian crisis, AFSC’s objectives for its work in Haiti are twofold: when needed to deliver humanitarian assistance that secures basic human rights and restores livelihoods; and to strengthen urban communities, institutions and strategic stakeholders to resolve problems peacefully. In partnership with two local NGOs AFSC is working on the implementation of two pilot projects. The primary goal of the two projects is to enhance the well-being and physical security of displaced persons residing in urban camps/shelters in Port-au-Prince and Leogane. Special emphasis is given to strengthening local capacities to manage conflicts and reduce violence. As a part of these projects AFSC will facilitate intensive training in trauma healing which will be given to the staff working in the communities of the two projects and key community leadership members. | The two pilot projects will reach approximately 4,958 families (information from early September 2010.) The calculation is based on the numbers that AFSC’s partner organizations who work in the urban camps/shelters, obtained from the Camp Administration Registration. The information can vary from month to month due to the fact that families are leaving and new families are arriving at the camps. | $1,495,179 | $286,280 | 1 | 3 | Geri Sicola | Associate General Secretary International Programs | (215)-241-7151 | Alexis Moore | Associate Director External Affairs/Media Director | (215)-241-7060 | amoore@afsc.org | 1501 Cherry Street | Philadelphia | PA | 19102 | 888-588-2372 | http://afsc.org | |||||||||||

As grantmakers, AJWS’s strategy is to provide holistic, long-term, flexible support to grassroots organizations and strategic allies in rural and urban Haiti. AJWS is working with grantees to respond effectively to immediate and emerging needs after the earthquake and engage in established community-based social change efforts to advance human rights and address community needs. With this in mind, AJWS’s specific objectives in Haiti are to ensure that: • Women, youth, farmers and people with disabilities in urban and rural areas have profitable businesses and access to income-generating opportunities. • Haitians, in the areas where AJWS grantees work, have greater access to and control over food production. • Women, including survivors of gender-based violence, sexually diverse communities, farmers, youth and people with disabilities in urban and rural areas of Haiti, are healthier, safer and more secure. • Grassroots organizations and movements in urban and rural Haiti are stronger, more stable, better networked, benefit from foreign assistance and are part of post-earthquake decision-making and monitoring processes. Having supported community-based organizations in Haiti for over a decade, AJWS was able to provide emergency relief grants within 48 hours following the earthquake. The funding initially supported the immediate rescue efforts of our existing network of grantees in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, enabling them to meet immediate community needs for food, water, medicine and emergency health services. Through the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, AJWS will continue to support its network of grantees as they address immediate and emerging needs. Given AJWS’s experience responding to other natural disasters like the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and conflict-related violence, we have learned that post-disaster recovery and development takes time. AJWS has made a commitment of at least four years to support the recovery and reconstruction of communities throughout Haiti. AJWS will also transition selected emergency grantees into core grantees, which will receive long-term funding for community development and rights promotion projects aimed at addressing food sovereignty, community health, economic justice and civic and political participation. | The number of people reached is calculated based on each AJWS grantee’s response through its individual monitoring and evaluation process. | $6,000,000 | $1,200,000 | Amarilys Estrella | Program Officer | (212)-792-2838 | Joshua Berkman | Media and Marketing | (212)-792-2893 | jberkman@ajws.org | 45 West 36th Street, 10th Fl | New York | NY | 10018 | 212-792-2900 | http://www.ajws.org/haitiearthquake | |||||||||||||

| 22 | Catholic Relief Services (CRS) | http://www.crs.org | On January 12, 2010 Haiti was rocked by its strongest earthquake in 200 years; the impact on Haitian lives and livelihoods is staggering. CRS has developed a comprehensive, long-term response to adjust ongoing programming based on this crisis and to help those most affected by the disaster to rebuild their lives and communities. This strategy frames the relief and development interventions as well as approaches to engage the Catholic constituency in the U.S. in the Haitian journey to recovery. The guiding principles of Catholic Social Teaching are the foundation of this CRS response. CRS and partners adhere to principles of solidarity, human dignity, good stewardship and subsidiarity through approaches that promote full transparency and accountability. Key elements of this approach include: recognition of the role of the Haitian Church as an agent for change; empowerment of Haitians in their own recovery; long-term commitment; need for a flexible approach; and a holistic response that considers the integral needs of the population. CRS GOAL: Haitians live dynamic, productive and dignified lives. Leadership development, protection, disaster risk reduction, advocacy and accountability are critical programming considerations with specific activities threaded throughout each sector. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and partners mobilized within hours of the disaster to begin assessing needs and providing relief. Since those early days, CRS has expanded in order to reach more people, and to strengthen programs in a variety of sectors. To date, some key achievements include the following: • Provided food to nearly 900,000 people. Currently providing food to more than 90,000 students in over 270 schools, and monthly food rations to more than 100 orphanages and child-care centers in Port-au-Prince and Les Cayes, benefiting nearly 10,000 children. • Provided emergency shelter materials to more than 215,000 people. • Performed over 974 emergency operations and conducted 64,000 outpatient consultations. • Employed approximately 10,000 people in Cash-for-Work activities that are designed both to provide income to vulnerable people and benefit communities. • Installed over 600 latrines, hand-washing stations, potable water tanks and inflatable water bladders in Port-au-Prince and environs. • Established five “child-friendly spaces” for unaccompanied children at camps, regularly attended by more than 1,900 children. • Provided 5,939 families with livelihood support and the dignity of choice through vouchers that allow them to choose the most appropriate types of seeds and fertilizers—this approach also benefits local seed suppliers and stimulates local markets. • Provided assistance to numerous local and international partners in Haiti, including 164 Church partners. | $156,600,000 | $23,500,000 | $44,100,000 | $25,300,000 | $12,900,000 | $5,200,000 | 37 | 554 | Nicole Balliette | Haiti Earthquake Response Coordinator | (410)-951-7357 | P.O.

Jean Zaché Duracin, Bishop of Haiti. Episcopal Relief & Development is supporting the rescue, relief, and recovery efforts of its Haitian partner, the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti, through our partnership with the diocese’s relief and development arm known as CEDDISEC (Centre Diocesain de Development et de Secours) to help and heal people and communities that have been impacted by the crisis. We are committed to work through and strengthen the resources and leadership within Haiti. In the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake, the agency disbursed emergency relief funds to the Diocese of Haiti that assisted over 60,000 individuals with urgent health care, food, water, shelter, sanitation and other non-food items. Currently the agency is providing funds to the Diocese of Haiti for on-going recovery work that anticipates assisting an additional 40,000 individuals with short-term employment, provisional homes, household and community sanitation, and the reconstitution of Episcopal health and education ministries. | In general, Episcopal Relief & Development programs calculate the number of people targeted and reached by counting the number of people directly impacted by an agency-supported project. This direct number reached refers people either directly receiving assistance or actively participating in a project. Frequently, an additional calculation of people targeted and reached is identified based on the number of people indirectly impacted by an agency-supported project. This indirect number reached may include family members of an individual directly participating in a project, as well as community members serviced by an area or institution targeted for recovery. In Haiti, for the purposes of calculating the number of people “indirectly” reached, Episcopal Relief & Development considers a Haitian family to have on average 6 members. | 30% | 70% | 2 | Kirten Laursen-Muth | Senior Director International Programs | (212)-716-6026 | Malaika Kamunanwire | Senior Director for Marketing and Communications | (212)-716-6201 | mkamunanwire@er-d.org | Episcopal Relief & Development | 815 Second Avenue | New York | NY | 10017 | 800-334-7626, ext. 5129 | http://er-d.org | |||||||||||

| 36 | Habitat for Humanity International | http://www.habitat.org | In the first six months after the earthquake, Habitat for Humanity Haiti supported early recovery with emergency shelter kits, assessments of damaged houses and construction of transitional shelters. For the remainder of 2010, our focus is on transitional shelters. Beginning in 2011, our focus will remain on delivery of transitional shelters but also include repairs and retrofits, upgradable t-shelters and constructing core houses. Key principles guide our strategy: • Provide people with a pathway to permanence; • Employ a collaborative approach that includes the involvement of beneficiary families as well as the community; and • Engage in strong partnerships to provide community-wide solutions, including water, sanitation and secure land. Habitat is implementing its Haiti recovery project through community-based Habitat Resource Centers (HRCs). HRCs respond to the needs of households within their service area, providing a range of services that include damage assessments, repairs and retrofits, assistance in securing land and tenure, loans of tools and equipment, materials fabrication, water and sanitary solutions, transitional shelter and shelter upgrades. As the recovery progresses, housing finance will be introduced so that families can continue to manage home improvements and additions. In responding to housing needs, HRCs identify gaps and deficiencies in the local housing production process. The analysis looks at local design preferences, quality of materials and tools, availability of skilled labor and technical expertise within the cultural and political framework. Through the HRC, new designs are developed with community input, materials are sourced and fabricated. Training is offered in construction skills, disaster preparedness and other subjects like financial literacy or health and hygiene. HRC activities support the development and sustainability of the local construction sector—as well as economic recovery—with job creation and business development. They improve the quality of construction to mitigate against the effects of future disasters. Habitat for Humanity has set high goals and standards for its five-year recovery project in Haiti. In addition to the goal of serving 50,000 families is the goal of building the capacity of Habitat for Humanity Haiti to carry on the work in the years ahead, to help ever more families along the pathway to permanent housing and to be a catalyst for positive change in construction, community development and land rights in Haiti. | Habitat calculates beneficiaries served based on the average Haitian family size of five members; thus each housing solution serves an estimated five beneficiaries. | $11,511,664 | 33% | 67% | $7,125,145 | 31% | 69% | $2,979,063 | $2,320,546 | $1,977,161 | $1,171,409 | 23 | 72 | Duane Bates | Director Public Relations and New Media | (404)-733-3079 | 270 Peachtree st.

| 39 | Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights | http://www.heartlandalliance.org | The January 12 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 people, with hundreds of thousands more injured and displaced. In addition to the injuries directly caused by the earthquake, the indirect health effects of the earthquake included the spread of infections and communicable diseases resulting from people living in crowded spontaneous settlements. Heartland Alliance addressed the immediate medical and psychosocial needs of earthquake survivors by establishing a level two field clinic for internally displaced people living in and around the national stadium. Heartland Alliance’s focus in Haiti is mainly in the domain of Child Protection. Shortly after the earthquake, Heartland Alliance’s Family Tracing and Reunification Program was created to identify and register separated children in regional hospitals in Port-au-Prince, with the goal to reunite them with a family member. This program has recently expanded to include the Les Cayes region. Heartland Alliance has another program that is currently providing trained Child Protection Officers at principal Haitian border crossings to assist the Government of Haitiís (GoH) Child Protection in screening, identifying and registering children crossing the borders at Ouinaminthe, Belladere, Malpasse and Anse-a-Pitres. Heartland Alliance has a community-based psychosocial program based in Petit Goave which trains community workers in how to identify and give presentations to local community groups in identifying symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Heartland Alliance has a team of youth organizers that travel to under-served IDP camps to jumpstart and reinforce structured recreational activities there. Heartland Alliance staff meet with local camp management committees and community groups to identify youth leadership and discuss concepts planning for game/sports programs for children there including needs and hopes, space constraints, storage of materials to be provided, and scheduling. After initial planning, Heartland Alliance provides community leaders with balls, jump ropes, jerseys, and other recreational materials for use in the camps both on an informal lending basis and as part of more structured activities. Heartland Alliance organizers then make follow-up visits to ensure materials are used equitably and appropriately, and discuss with youth and community leaders to address any challenges and define future plans. To date, Heartland Alliance has achieved the following: 3 IDP camps provided with recreational materials and planning support to start community-based recreational programs run by local teens. | The number of people reached through the project is calculated to include all people who have benefited from Heartland Alliance interventions. Mechanisms are in place to prevent people who benefit from multiple Heartland Alliance services from being counted more than once in the total number of beneficiaries.

IRD’s team, which includes experts in rapid response and assessment, agriculture, infrastructure and health, immediately began focusing their efforts on providing basic humanitarian aid, such as water, food, sanitation, medicines and shelter materials. IRD made arrangements to ship and distribute medical supplies, antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medicines, oral rehydration salts, water purifiers, respirator masks, solar-powered lights and additional humanitarian aid. To date, IRD has received more than $12,500,000 worth of relief commodities and is concentrating its efforts on distributing these items in the Leogane district, the area closest to the earthquake’s epicenter with 90 percent destruction. Every resident of Leogane has been sleeping outside in makeshift shelters and completely relies on humanitarian organizations for food, water and shelter. IRD is working with local Haitian partners in order to quickly distribute aid to those most in need. In addition, IRD is coordinating with local authorities and other humanitarian organizations to ensure each project is appropriate and effective. On March 3, IRD received funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that is helping to provide shelter, sanitation and hygiene assistance, as well as medicine, clothes and shoes, to 28,000 individuals in Leogane, Haiti. | $236,000 | $92,000 | Yvette Gonzalez | Director of the Haiti Team | (703)-248-0161 | 1621 North Kent Street 4th Floor | Arlington | VA | 22209 | 866-595-1100 | http://www.ird-dc.org/ | ||||||||||||||||||

LWR responded immediately to the January 12 earthquake with a $750,000 contribution to the Action by Churches Together (ACT) appeal to support the distribution of water, food and non-food items in and around Port-au-Prince and heavily affected nearby cities. LWR also shipped over $1,000,000 worth of material resources from its stockpiles, including quilts, layettes, health kits and school kits. Tarps and tents valued at $400,000 were also procured and shipped to ACT partners to distribute for temporary shelter needs. LWR’s relief phase has also included support to local partners to assist rural communities in departments to the north of Port-au-Prince that have been overwhelmed by a sudden influx of internally displaced persons. This short-term support includes cash-for-work programs, assistance in ensuring safe water supply, sanitation (latrine construction) and training of internally displaced people (IDPs) and host communities in monitoring and treatment of dehydration, acute diarrheal diseases and other common illnesses. As of September, LWR has provided the following relief assistance: 29,585 health kits, 25,545 quilts, 1,500 layettes and 16,875 tarps. LWR has also provided $1,130,000 to partners to provide food, water, sanitation, shelter, basic health care, cash-for-work and seeds. In the rehabilitation phase, LWR’s long-term plans include support to both current and new partners through three-to-five-year projects that focus primarily on helping communities that are hosting large numbers of IDPs from Port-au-Prince and other earthquake-ravaged areas. Anticipated activities will focus on: 1. Increasing food availability through improved and expanded agricultural production, support to seed banks and other rural livelihoods initiatives; 2. Ensuring adequate access to water, through the construction of water systems and hygiene facilities; 3. Strengthening the capacity of local farmer- and community-based organizations to meet the needs of IDPs; 4. Distribution of material resources from LWR’s own stock (including school supplies); and 5. Capacity building in Disaster Risk Reduction for community groups. | LWR conducted initial needs assessments in collaboration with our local partners in Haiti in order to identify appropriate target populations. Periodic additional assessments are planned as the situation on the ground changes. Baseline surveys are also routinely conducted during project development in order to determine the number of project participants. For shipments of material resources, family size was estimated at 5 individuals. | $7,214,934 | 27% | 73% | $4,544,088 | 43% | 57% | 1 | Alex Wilson | Deputy Director for Latin America | (410)-230-2806 | Emily Sollie | Director, Communications and Media Relations | (410)-230-2802 | esollie@lwr.org | 700 Light St | Baltimore | MD | 21230 | 800-597-5972 | http://www.lwr.org/giving/ | ||||||||

| 55 | MAP International | http://www.map.org | With its extensive network of medical partnerships and over 40 years of service to healthcare providers in Haiti, MAP International quickly assembled its emergency relief response for many of the Haitian men, women and children devastated by the powerful 7.3 earthquake. Health systems, food supply, roads, electricity, communications, and other vital infrastructure have all been severely impaired or destroyed by the earthquake. The sea port and airport have both experienced heavy damage as well as high levels of humanitarian aid traffic. Haiti has become a high-profile emergency within MAP’s media profiling, with statements being sent out to supporters, donors and other agency networks (including the Global Relief Alliance). Our first strategic response was primarily to support NGO partners with medical aid shipments. These medicines and supplies support long-term MAP field partnerships in Haiti – NGOs who have linkages to existing health networks and in-country capacity for warehousing and logistics. These partners had already mobilized field hospitals and clinics to triage the injured and provide other types of assistance. They then adjusted health care strategies to account for the shift in needs. Our partners then focused more on post-operative care, infections of untreated wounds, diseases of crowded conditions, and the ongoing primary health care needs. Numerous medical aid shipments were shipped from the MAP Distribution Center situated strategically on the southern Atlantic Coast. Altogether, the first shipments had the potential to impact over half the people in and around Port-au-Prince, and the subsequent shipments had the potential to support all the treatments that are required. In addition, medicines and supplies donated specifically for the relief continued to stream into the MAP Distribution Center. MAP International’s current plans for the disaster in Haiti: After the immediate short and medium term response MAP wants to engage in long-term plans. Besides the provision of essential medicines, it is pursuing the support to recover the government health care system, strengthen rehabilitation activities for people affected – as well as the development of the programs that leads toward Total Health Villages to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The thrust of the strategy is Relief to Rehabilitation, and furthering the continuum into long-term sustainable development. | The number of beneficiaries was estimated by the number of treatments projected from medical shipments in all phases of the Haiti Relief effort. A reasonable assumption is made that each patient on the average requires three different treatments. In the past, MAP had conducted an assessment of all medical shipments and arrived at an estimated number of treatments in each type of delivery method (palletized shipments & MAP Travel Packs). This number of treatments is an estimate only from a sampling of past shipments – the actual number of treatments for each shipment may vary considerably since the contents of the shipments also varies, depending on availability of specific medicines and supplies. It would not be feasible to calculate actual numbers of persons treated in a relief effort, so the average number of treatments per individual is used as a proxy for beneficiary numbers. It would be especially difficult to calculate unduplicated beneficiary numbers (if the same patient returned for multiple treatment visits). A detailed patient record-keeping system would be required (not feasible in a relief situation) to identify. Ultimately, the average number of treatments per person is at best an approximation of the total number of beneficiaries served by the project. | $978,653 | 97% | 3% | $978,653 | 97% | 3% | 1 | Scott Ruschak | Director, International Medical Resources | (912)-280-6646 | Scott Ruschak | Director, International Medical Resources | (912)-280-6646 | sruschak@map.org | 4700 Glynco Parkway | Brunswick | GA | 31525 | 800-225-8550 | http://www.map.org | ||||||||

| 57 | Medical Teams International | http://www.medicalteams.org | Since 1998, Medical Teams International has sent 51 volunteer medical teams to help improve the health and well being of tens of thousands of Haitians. Medical Teams International has worked in close partnership with the Haiti Foundation of Hope (HFH) to support a rural health clinic in Terre Blanche, a small village north of Gonaïves. In partnership with HFH, MTI has provided technical support to train 30 local leaders in community health needs assessment, baseline survey, and program planning. In response to the earthquake, MTI provided matching funds to HFH for an earthquake disaster response project to deliver seeds and fertilizer to farmers, and to construct new wells. MTI also deployed disaster response teams to the north of Haiti with HFH after the hurricanes in 2004 and 2008. Since January 2010, in response to the earthquake, Medical Teams International has served over 183,600 beneficiaries through mobile medical units and static clinics (20,800 served) and through donations of Gifts-in-Kind (162,800 served). MTI also shipped more than $5 million in medicines and supplies, developed a psychosocial training program, and established a field office to transition from relief to rehabilitation and development. The following provides detail on Medical Teams International’s interventions in response to the earthquake. A. Emergency Medical and Primary Health Care Medical Teams International’s mission in Haiti is to provide emergency and primary health care to earthquake-affected communities throughout Haiti, improving the quality of life from relief through recovery. During the first 24 weeks after the earthquake, Medical Teams International sent 18 volunteer teams with the first one arriving within three days of the disaster. More than 100 doctors, nurses and other health professionals have been operating out of mobile medical units and static clinics in Port-au-Prince, Léogâne, Les Cayes and Carrefour. Medical Teams International also partnered with the Quisqueya Project. Through this project, in the first 6 months after the earthquake, 60,000 patients were treated, $4.5 million in supplies were distributed, and 1,500 medical personnel were deployed to care for earthquake affected individuals. Our current health programs include (1) static clinic services for the provision of primary health care and prevention services; (2) psychosocial training to help address post-disaster trauma needs; (3) rehabilitation services through our Advantage Program, which aims to meet the physical and spiritual needs of persons with disabilities; and (4) support to church and faith based organizations to enhance the provision of health care. B. Gifts-in-Kind More than $5 million worth of supplies and medicines has been distributed to local health facilities and survivors living in tent cities. These include three Interagency Emergency Health Kits, one Interagency Diarrheal Kit, orthopedic equipment and supplies, suture materials and a broad range of medicines, including antibiotics. The health facilities that received Gift-in-Kind medicines and supplies from MTI include King’s Hospital, Haiti Community Hospital, University of Miami Hospital, General Hospital, St. Damien’s Hospital, USS Comfort, Hospital at Bonne Fin, Centre Lumiere, Double Harvest Hospital, and Haiti Foundation of Hope. C. Rehabilitation of Health Infrastructure The earthquake damaged many health care facilities in the affected areas. Medical Teams International met the needs of those injured and ill by: 1. Rehabilitating King’s Hospital, as well as providing the hospital with medical staff, supplies, medicines and emergency orthopedic surgeries 2. Deploying mobile medical units to various tent cities 3. Supplying hospitals with urgently needed medicines and orthopedic supplies 4. Transporting critically ill people to the U.S. for life-saving treatment | MTI calculates number of people reached by tracking patient charts, mobile clinic records, and clinic records. Staff and volunteers maintain and update these records on a daily/weekly basis. | 5 | 20 | Stephanie King | Emergency Relief Program Assistant | (503)-624-1000 | Marlene Minor | Vice President, Communications | (503)-341-6620 | PO Box 10 | Portland | OR | 97207 | 5036241000 | http://www.medicalteams.org | ||||||||||||||

We continue to help families and set longer-term recovery in motion. In Port-au-Prince, we’re improving camp conditions, providing water and giving survivors temporary jobs through Cash for Work programming. Mercy Corps has also partnered with Fondasyon Kole Zépol (Fonkoze) - Haiti’s largest microfinance institution with over 200,000 clients - to pilot a Catastrophic Loss Micro Insurance project, laying the foundation for future financial risk reduction programming in Haiti. In addition, we support micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises to bolster the Haitian economy, and to create jobs for those living in some of the poorest conditions in the world. We’re giving teachers and parents healthy ways to address children’s emotional needs and restore their sense of well-being through art therapy, children’s films, and community revitalization programs. In the impoverished Central Plateau region, we’re working with communities to build a viable economy that supports everyone, including thousands of displaced earthquake survivors. Using market-based and community-led methods, we’re supporting host communities and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to ease overcrowding and reduce vulnerability of Haiti’s earthquake-affected population throughout the country. | Mercy Corps targets beneficiaries by household.

Since 1990, RI’s programs have linked immediate emergency assistance with long-term economic and livelihood development through innovative programming at the grassroots level. RI programs—in more than 20 countries around the world—address a wide range of development and livelihoods issues, including disaster response and recovery, community-based infrastructure construction and rehabilitation, health and nutrition, livelihoods, women’s empowerment, and education, training and youth initiatives. In Haiti, RI’s objectives are: • To provide rapid and flexible humanitarian assistance to earthquake-affected populations in Haiti by reducing morbidity and mortality through improved access to health care and increased availability of water and sanitation services • To support emergency and transitional shelter for earthquake-affected populations • To provide earthquake-affected children and youth with educational and psychosocial support through the creation of child-friendly spaces | In calculating the number of people reached (target), Relief International considers only those who will directly benefit from our programs. Sometimes, this number is calculated at the household level. To translate this into the number of individuals estimated to benefit from a program, we multiply the number of households by five (our estimate for the average number of individuals per household). We also often disaggregate the number of beneficiaries to consider how many internally displaced persons (IDPs), either individuals or households, will directly benefit from a program. | $586,000 | 80% | 20% | $250,000 | 100% | $1,500,000 | $1,500,000 | $1,028,470 | $2,500 | 4 | 70 | Emily Hibbets | Program Manager – Haiti | (202)-639-8660 | 5455 Wilshire Blvd. #1280 | Los Angeles | CA | 90036 | 323-932-7888 | http://ri.org | ||||||||

| 72 | Save the Children | http://www.savethechildren.org | SC has served the needs of some of Haiti’s poorest children and families since 1978. Immediately after the January 12 earthquake SC began responding to the needs of earthquake-affected children and families, providing lifesaving relief and support to people in Port-au-Prince, Léogâne and Jacmel while continuing development programs in Port-au-Prince, Gonaïves, Maïssade, Dessalines, Jacmel and four border towns. SC’s vision in Haiti is that the rights and needs of earthquake-affected children are met in ways that also develop the health, education, welfare and protection systems for all children in Haiti through direct program initiatives and advocacy for policy changes. Our goal is to work in areas where we can effectively support the most vulnerable children, their families, their communities and organizations that represent them (e.g., local NGOs). Over the next five years our goal is to reach 10% of the total Haitian population (approximately 1 million people) with multiple interventions per person to ensure depth of impact as well as breadth. | 1) In each field office, all sectors outlined out which communes/camps they are working in and the number of beneficiaries reached in those sites; 2) Mapped these in a table so we could see where there was overlap across sectors and a potential for double counting; 3) We only counted beneficiaries once in cases where they benefited from more than one program and rolled up the numbers by site and then by field office. | $72,763,277 | 100% | $30,467,757 | 100% | $13,003,804 | $7,017,540 | 59 | 840 | Nathalie Augustin | Director Haiti Stakeholder Liaison | (202)-640-6600 | Elysia Nisan (Haiti) / Kate Conradt (Washington DC) | Media and Communications | enisan@savechildren.org/kconradt@savechildren.org | 54 Wilton Road | Westport | CT | 6880 | 800-728-3843 | http://savethechildren.org | ||||||||

The USCRI/GARR partnership has been assessing the conditions of displaced people and their options for a dignified solution consistent with their human rights. Using a collaborative approach with the United Nations Protection Cluster, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and Camp Management Agencies, USCRI helps internally displaced persons (IDPs) transition from camp-based assistance to achieving durable solutions through the following objectives: Monitors the protection of displaced people before, during, and after movements from at risk sites designated for relocation to new emergency settlements. USCRI ensures that adequate information is shared with the population about conditions in the new site, provides recommendations for facilitating a smooth relocation process, and shares concerns or feedback from affected communities with United Nations agencies. Provides targeted assistance to especially vulnerable individuals (EVIs). USCRI identifies those with special needs in camps and host communities and develops case files to provide assistance to newly widowed mothers of small children, elderly persons abandoned by their families, unaccompanied children, and handicapped persons. Expands the menu of durable solutions available to displaced people in at-risk sites. USCRI informs displaced people of the five durable solutions available through the Government of Haiti Safe Shelter Strategy and identifies barriers keeping people from realizing their desired option. USCRI and GARR facilitate the movement of people to a sustainable destination of their choice and conduct follow up monitoring to ensure ongoing access to social services. | USCRI has reached 50,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) with protection monitoring to ensure that the rights of those affected by the earthquake are being respected in the response and by all concerned authorities. USCRI has also provided 5,000 especially vulnerable individuals (EVIs) with targeted assistance in the form of shelter, medicine, food, water and sanitation interventions. These efforts have also reduced the vulnerability of 4 communities to protection risks (such as discrimination, malnutrition, disease, GBV, and homelessness). These figures are derived from protection officers who provide monthly reporting from the field. | $240,000 | $240,000 | $500,000 | $280,000 | $280,000 | 2 | 4 | Sarah Williamson | Director of International Programs | (703)-310-1130 | Sarah Williamson | Director of International Programs | (703)-310-1130 | spetrin@uscridc.org | 2231 Crystal Drive Suite 350 | Arlington | VA | 22202 | 703-310-1130 | http://www.refugees.org | ||||||||

| 79 | US Fund for UNICEF | http://www.unicefusa.org/ | The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s relief and reconstruction efforts in Haiti by raising funds, helping maintain public awareness of Haiti’s ongoing needs, and sharing information on UNICEF’s work and policies with the U.S. Congress and the U.S. NGO community. UNICEF’s role in emergencies is to focus on ensuring the survival, development, and protection of children. The January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti was a "children's emergency": of more than two million people displaced by the earthquake, nearly one million are children. In Haiti, UNICEF plays a major role in supporting water and sanitation, child protection, and health programs for displaced and vulnerable populations: • Water and Sanitation: UNICEF is providing safe water to 333,000 people, and reaching 1.4 million people with a combination of services that include provision of safe drinking water, latrine construction, distribution of water purification tablets, and other hygiene and sanitation supplies. • Child Protection: 70,000 children benefit from recreational activities and other services in 310 Child-Friendly Spaces, with efforts transitioning from immediate post-disaster assistance to community awareness-raising on child protection. • Education: UNICEF supplied more than 185,000 children with educational materials such as pens, pencils and notebooks , and provided 1,297 school tents for 155,000 learners. • Health: UNICEF is providing breastfeeding and nutrition support and counseling to more than 23,000 mothers and their babies; and more than 275,000 children in 727 camps have been immunized against major vaccine-preventable diseases. One of the most critical roles that UNICEF plays is acting as a coordinator of international actors in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; Education; and Nutrition Clusters. UNICEF is also the coordinator of the Child Protection Sub-Cluster. | $71,741,878 | 80% | 20% | Kini Schoop | Director of Public Relations | (212)-922-2634 | same as above | 125 Maiden Lane 11th Floor | New York | NY | 10038 | 800-4UNICEF | http://www.unicefusa.org | ||||||||||||||||

| 81 | World Concern | http://worldconcern.org | World Concern seeks to alleviate poverty and suffering among the poor in Haiti. We seek to accomplish this through improving livelihood opportunities and the ability of caregivers to support their children. We have been working in Haiti for about 30 years with activities in four departments (South, Southeast, Northwest and West). In rural areas we have pro-grams to support education, agriculture, the environment and the care of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. A long-term micro-credit program (AC-LAM—Action Contre la Misère) provides loans to thousands of small entrepreneurs. Additionally, WC regularly assists in disaster preparation, mitigation and response, primarily with the repeated hurricanes. World Concern’s specific response to the earthquake started with emergency distributions of food, water, essential non-food items, hygiene kits, medical supplies and emergency shelter. Additionally, we supplied fuel to hospitals in the first days after the quake to permit them to operate on emergency surgical cases. Recovery response is ongoing. In Port-au-Prince this includes temporary shelter, cash for work, livelihood grants, micro-credit loan forgiveness and support to churches that have been damaged and that provide services to their communities. In Northwest, South and Southeast departments, this includes support to host family farmer and internally displaced persons (IDPs) through agricultural support and cash for work. | World Concern typically calculates the number of people reached at the household level. To translate this into the number of individuals estimated to benefit from our programs, we multiply the number of households by five (what we consider the average number of individuals per household in Haiti). | $2,500,000 | 40% | 60% | $1,449,583 | 69% | 31% | $3,746,524 | $2,482,661 | $749,993 | $398,175 | 4 | 105 | Nick Archer | Senior Director, Disaster Response and Security | (804)-726-0847 | Derek Sciba | Media Relations Manager | (206)-713-5564 | dereks@worldconcern.org | 19303 Fremont Ave. | PO Box 33000, MS #44 | Seattle | WA | 98133 | 866-530-5433 | http://worldconcern.org | ||
| 82 | World Food Program USA (WFP USA) | http://www.wfpusa.org | WFP USA has supported the work of WFP in its response to the January 12 earthquake through fundraising, advocacy and communication efforts. WFP led the global clusters working to distribute food, restore telecommunications and organize logistics. WFP also managed the distribution of food to earthquake impacted populations, delivering one million rations to more than 200,000 people in the first week following the earthquake. Within six weeks WFP food reached some 4 million Haitians. Overall, WFP’s emergency response and recovery efforts have reached 655,000 children with school meals, 175,000 individuals with cash and food for work programs and 563,000 people with supplementary feeding. In addition, WFP has prepositioned enough food across Haiti to feed 1.1 million people for 6 weeks in the event of a destructive hurricane season. In terms of logistics, WFP successfully opened up air, sea and land corridors and transported food, relief items and humanitarian personnel from several hundred organizations in the days and weeks following the earthquake. The WFP-operated UN Humanitarian Air Service provided a vital link between Santo Domingo and Haiti’s main cities when they were inaccessible by road. WFP also restored telecommunications systems for aid workers within days of the earthquake. Moving forward WFP plans to continue assisting the government to increase its capacity to reduce food insecurity, including by contributing to the development of the agriculture sector and stimulating markets and the local economy through local purchases. | $17,675,639 | 100% | $17,675,639 | 100% | Kevin Anderson | Senior Public Policy Associate | (202)-530-3892 | 1819 L Street, NW, Suite 900 | Washington | DC | 20036 | 866-929-1694 | http://www.friendsofwfp.org/donate | ||||||||||||||||

| 84 | World Neighbors | http://www.wn.org | World Neighbors’ work in Haiti dates back to 1966. The earthquake impacted rural communities in all of our 11 program areas, all located north of Port-au-Prince. The World Neighbors Haiti office suffered damage, making it necessary to relocate to the town of Mirebalais. Though World Neighbors’ program focus is on long-term rural development, due to the massive surge of people migrating into the rural program areas, there has been a significant need to address the short-term effects of this crisis as it has indirectly impacted on the more than 320 rural communities where we work. These immediate needs have included ensuring adequate supplies of food, clean water, shelter, sanitation and health services. Contributions to the World Neighbors Haiti Fund are designated in support of both short-term needs and the longer-term development programs benefiting more than 320 rural villages. | In Haiti, World Neighbors works directly with eleven (11) community-based organizations – one in each of our 11 program areas. The estimated number of people reached in each community is consolidated by CBO representatives through monthly reporting meetings held at the community level. These estimates are then passed-on to World Neighbors staff on a monthly and/or quarterly basis. Data collected include the following: No. of communities; No. of households reached; No of participants (involved in program activities); No. of beneficiaries; and No. of volunteers (i.e., community-level volunteer leaders facilitating local activities). | $534,557 | 66% | 34% | $445,008 | 80% | 20% | 0 | 12 | Christopher Price | Price | (800)-242-6387 ext 0439 | Erin Engelke | Vice President Marketing & Communications | (405)-418-0398 | eengelke@wn.org | 4127 NW 122nd Street | Oklahoma City | OK | 73120 | 405-752-9700 | http://wn.org | |||||||
| 85 | World Relief | http://wr.org | World Relief has been working in Haiti since 1993 with approximately 40 staff. Before the earthquake, WR focused its efforts mostly on health programming, including HIV/AIDS, Maternal and Child Health, and Orphans and Vulnerable Children. WR also worked with a partner organization, World Concern, in the creation of a microfinance institution called Action Contre La Misere (ACLAM), serving 6,000 clients. Through these community-based development initiatives, World Relief has established excellent relationships with community members and leaders, and has developed an extensive network of churches and partners with whom to work. World Relief’s post-earthquake strategy is built upon the over-arching objective of leveraging its emergency response towards long-term, sustainable development where families and communities are able to live better lives than before the tragedy. This objective is achieved primarily through the integration of comprehensive and holistic health, agriculture, shelter, and economic initiatives into the disaster recovery initiatives. Families will not only have new homes, access to clean water, and community health support, but also the opportunity to join agriculture initiatives that provide entirely new livelihoods – livelihoods that are supported by new credit mechanisms and linkages to local and regional markets. | World Relief Haiti usually calculates the number of people reached at the household level.

| 86 | World Vision US, Inc. | http://www.worldvision.org | Outside Port-au-Prince, World Vision was already working in the regions of La Gonave, South, Central Plateau and North when the earthquake struck. A common and chronic problem for communities in this region was scarcity of food, for a variety of reasons including poor crops and poorer market opportunities. With over half a million displaced people now estimated to have left Port-au-Prince for the provinces, finding nutritious food will become even more of a problem. Many miles away from the epicenter, the earthquake’s impact is still felt, as the resources of communities are pushed to their limits. Recognizing the realities is the starting point to solving them. World Vision’s assessment results showed common pat-terns and priorities for displaced communities. Their needs and opinions have provided essential guidance for World Vision as they contribute to the recovery phase in Haiti. The assessment showed that communities prioritize their own needs in the following order: 1) shelter, 2) food, 3) water, 4) health care, 5) income and 6) education and a future for children. World Vision believes that lasting change is possible when our relief and development work is supported through advocacy, to open channels for justice and rights at household, community and government levels. For each sector where World Vision is working in Haiti, we are also calling for change from others. As we partner to rebuild Haiti, now is the time to create new opportunities. Government can change policy; local leaders can change priorities; families and communities can join and influence campaigns to protect their rights and reduce their vulnerabilities to the patterns of poverty. | $44,000,000 | $12,830,000 | Elizabeth Ranade Janis | Program Management Officer | (202)-572-6353 | 34834 Weyerhaeuser Way South P.O.
