Your generosity has helped direclty

Oxfam Humanitarian Haiti Earthquake Appeal now closed, due to the over-whelming generosity of the public worldwide.

Thank you to all our supporters

Following the tragic earthquake in Haiti on January 12, we would like to thank everyone for the generous support from the public and other donors.

To date (24 February 2010), Oxfam has received approximately $100 million for its emergency work in Haiti, with donations received from the public, governments and institutional donors across the world.

We plan to spend around $18 million within the first six months after the earthquake, to carry out our immediate relief operations. The money we have received is making a real difference to people’s lives in Haiti and will continue to make a real difference as we help Haitians to re-build their lives.

Oxfam's Haiti response

To date, we've provided assistance to 170,000 people in Haiti and continue to scale up operations, planning to reach at least 500,000 people by the end of July. We are providing clean water, sanitation, shelter, seeds and running cash for work programs.

Fundraising projects already in progress before the appeal closed will continue as planned, but no new initiatives will be set into motion.

We will be helping Haiti rebuild over the next 3- years.

Funds for ongoing humanitarian response

Although our appeal for Haiti is now closed, we hope you will remember the other emergencies where we are responding, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Asia-Pacific disasters. We are able to launch rapid responses to natural disasters and conflict situations because we have funds in reserve.
