In the year since a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti, the ELCA response has been significant. More than 40,000 ELCA members contributed more than $12.6 million to support the work of ELCA Disaster Response in Haiti. Your gifts have:

• Provided food and shelter to approximately 57,700 people living in camps coordinated by The Lutheran World Federation and more than 6,000 people who gathered on the grounds of the Lutheran Church in Haiti.
• Delivered more than 14,000 quilts and 13,000 health kits.
• Distributed 3,200 gallons of safe, clean drinking water to approximately 2,000 families.
• Shipped four convoys of medical supplies, hygiene and baby kits, tents, food packages and other necessities.
• Funded housing placement and crisis counseling to Haitian refugees and medical evacuees seeking asylum in Florida and Georgia.

And yet our work is far from over. Our long-term goal in Haiti is to help renew hope and rebuild lives and livelihoods, seeking to end the cycle of poverty and injustice.
