Chile and Haiti Need Your Help

By Discoparlante | March 1, 2010

After two powerful earthquakes which left thousands dead and millions displaced it is our duty as human beings to help each other out. This could happen to any of us at anytime, think about that.

And the best thing you can do is donate whatever you can, however small to the following organizations:

•Doctors Without Borders — Doctors Without Borders already has a team working in Chile, you can make a contribution emergency assessment team to Chile, and they are asking for contributions to their Children’s Emergency Fund to aid these efforts.

•American Red Cross — The Red Cross has made an initial pledge of $50,000 from their International Response Fund, which you can contribute to to further assist.

•AmeriCares — Vice President of Emergency Response, Christoph Gorder, says AmeriCares is sending medical supplies and humanitarian aid to Chile. Make a direct contribution to AmeriCares’ Chilean earthquake fund.

•World Vision — World Vision is sending emergency relief supplies and staff to Chile to help injured survivors. Donate to World Vision’s Disaster Response Fund to directly contribute to aid heading to Chile.

•Habitat for Humanity — Habitat for Humanity has a continual presence in Chile, where they’ve helped construct over 1,300 homes. They will be essential in reconstruction efforts, especially in hard-hit rural areas. Donate to Habitat For Humanity or text CHILE to 25383 to donate $10.

•International Medical Corps — IMC has a presence in dozens of countries around the globe, providing immediate medical care to those affected by natural disasters. They are currently deploying resources to Chile. Contribute to their emergency response fund. Further updates on IMC’s potential presence in Chile coming soon.

•Operation USA — Operation USA is sending emergency relief to Chile following the earthquake. Text REBUILD to 50555 to donate $10 to Operation USA’s Chile disaster relief efforts or donate online at opusa.org.

•Oxfam — Though Oxfam recently ended their ongoing work in Chile, the organization is sending water engineers and logisticians to assess the situation and determine what sort of ongoing aid is needed. Oxfam is currently pledging to help local partners in Chile to better facilitate their work. Donate to Oxfam here.

•ShelterBox — International disaster relief agency ShelterBox has mobilized a team to bring aid to Concepcion, Chile’s second largest city, that likely witnessed the worst shaking. Donate to ShelterBox.

•The Salvation Army — The Salvation Army has pledged to give food, water and other resources for distribution in Chile. Text “CHILE” to 52000 to donate $10 or make an online donation to the Salvation Army’s Latin America Disaster Fund.

•Convoy of Hope — This relief organization may deploy some of its resources to Chile from the Caribbean region. They provide food, water and other essential resources to suffering areas. Make a donation to Convoy of Hope.

•Text Your Support for Chile: Text a donation to Chile through one of several organizations via the Mobile Giving Foundation.
