HABITAT'S
RESPONSE IN CHILE:
Even before formal assessments of
the latest quake damage began, Habitat committed to
responding to the disaster, based on the strength of the
quake-one of the largest on record-and our existing
strong program presence in the country.
Details of a response plan will be developed based on
assessment findings and in cooperation with Chile's
government and other nongovernmental organizations. Our
ability to expand work in Chile to effectively meet the
housing needs created by the quake will require support
from individuals, churches, corporate partners and other
organizations-particularly in light of resources already
committed to Haiti. Habitat also has response programs
still under way from disasters last fall in the
Philippines, India, Samoa and Indonesia
We
are collecting donations which will be sent to HFHI in
Chile. Make a donation here:
