Home | National Rotary Appeal for Haiti launched in Hull

David said: "700 ShelterBoxes have already been despatched to the disaster zone, providing tents, clothing, blankets and cooking utensils to the victims.

"To keep this relief effort going, Rotary members are mobilising to raise funds, make donations and help in any way that they can. We are receiving offerings which will support the relief effort and enable victims to reclaim their lives.

"It is too early to tell just how long it will take to recover from this natural disaster. Haiti has been battered by storms previously and much of the population is impoverished. Rotary members from the six Rotary clubs in Haiti are working together and, in some cases, providing shelter for others in their damaged homes. This is where Rotary plays to its strengths." 

Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so via their local club or Shelterbox direct.
