Haiti earthquake

An outpouring of support

Whether it’s the Hope for Haiti telethon, Radiohead holding a benefit show, or the hundreds of thousands of individuals who’ve donated to the relief effort, people are coming together to support Haiti’s earthquake survivors. At Oxfam, we celebrate this generosity and are already putting donations to good use--delivering water, sanitation services, and much-needed shelter.
