Thousands have died, an unknown number are injured and an estimated 300,000 are homeless following the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince and other densely populated areas of Haiti on 12 January, affecting a total of more than 3 million people (one third of the population of Haiti).
UNICEF and its partners are intensifying emergency supply operations to protect the health of children at risk. The effort is critical in Haiti, where almost half the population is under 18 years of age. UNICEF focuses first on the survival of the children - which means providing health care, water and sanitation, and adequate nutrition.
UNICEF is also there to bring immediate protection to children who have been abandoned or separated from their families. And UNICEF works to get children back to school as soon as possible, to help them recover from the psychological distress associated with emergencies.
Life-saving supplies and equipment are already arriving to help ease the suffering of a people whose history is already too full of hardship. Getting those supplies to the children and families who desperately need them is UNICEF's highest priority.
Team Michael is a UNICEF fundraising team for the relief efforts in Haiti. This team was created by and for Michael Jackson fans to continue helping those in need during this crisis.
In honor of Michael Jackson, please make a donation to the relief efforts in Haiti. The children of Haiti are counting on you!
If Michael Jackson was still amongst us, we know he would have been deeply affected by the situation in Haiti. Michael was supposed to perform on stage in London the day of the earthquake, and then on January 14th. Many fans believe he would have dedicated his concerts to the people of Haiti, and would have donated the proceeds from these shows to the relief efforts in Haiti.
As a result, tens of thousands of fans would have been able to help Haiti simply by being in the audience in one of these shows.
Michael is not there, but we fans can still get together and help the children of Haiti, in his name. We are millions, and if each one of us makes a small donation, we will save thousands of children lives. Every dollar counts.
It doesn’t take much to save a child’s life:
- $1 can provide a child in an emergency situation safe drinking water for 40 days
- $12 can provide one emergency first aid kit
- $50 can provide 40 packets of high energy/protein biscuits
- $68 can provide water purification tablets to provide 50,000 litres of clean water
