Abandoned Children's Fund - Copyright 2007
Over the last 50 years 2.3 million people (1/4 of the nations population) have relocated here from the even poorer rural countryside. In this city of rubble-strewn roads, deteriorating corrugated tin and cinderblock shacks, and bumper-to-bumper traffic, luxuries such as electricity, running water and sewage are scarce exceptions. With a functionally absent government, an unemployment rate of 70% and sever shortages of food, clean water and medical provisions of any kind, dawn gives place each morning to a life and death struggle for survival that places at risk the care and protection of children.
Before the devastating earthquake in January rocked Haiti to her knees these conditions existed. Now that a steady stream of displaced refugees are being driven by the tens of thousands in their necessity to the poor and ill equipped countryside, our attention is being drawn to ask, “how will these children be protected and provided for?” “What can we do to assist in their resettlement?”
Please help the devastated earthquake victims and hundreds of thousands of displaced families by donating! Remember, everything helps!
Thank you for your help.
