Social Issue

The Haiti earthquake of January 12, 2010, of a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale, had devastating effects in a country that is already the poorest in Latin America.

Official figures speak of 316,000 deaths, 350,000 injuries, and more than 1.5 million homeless people in what is considered one of the most serious humanitarian catastrophes in history.

In a situation of this magnitude, exacerbated by government disorganisation, any aid can seem insignificant.

Our Response

Part of a programme to help the affected population was financed through Nuestro Pequeños Hermanos Foundation.

Expected Social Impact

Our help has enabled at least hundreds of survivors to benefit from hot bread, fresh water, lidocaine for pain relief, crutches, wheelchairs, and orthopedic prosthetics.
