In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, we have compiled a list of vetted charities through which you can donate to Haiti - have you got favorite charities you want to vouch for? Small organizations on the ground in Haiti which can help right now? Tell us about it below! (And if you're looking for a vetted charity, do see our list of ways to donate to Haiti and do beware scammers seeking your money, which regrettably pop up in the wake of natural disasters). No need to register -- just start typing below. Recommend a Charity

Donate or volunteer to Haiti!

I've spent 6 weeks with a local NGO ( Force d'Entraide et de Developpement Integre) they partner with a Christian organization (God's Children Ministries) They both are doing a wonderful work by helping the needy people in Haiti. you can contact them at fide.haiti@yahoo.com http://www4.goabroad.com/client/edit_listing_page.cfm?listing=68717&CFID=1720702&CFTOKEN=87464261 You can make sure that your donation will be used for the good cause.

AHDH

Haitian Association for Human Development. We go to Haiti 3-4 times a year providing medical care in a small village 60 miles from Port au Prince. Over the last 25 years, we have slowly equipped a hospital with 3 operating rooms. We have urgently organized a emergency group to go to Haiti to help after the earthquake. We have 18 surgeons, orthopedics, anesthesiologists, nurses, support staff, and plenty of supplies etc ready to go. We've been put on hold since Saturday because we cannot get clearance to land in Port au Prince. We can help all those people suffering. We need help for that. And we also need help for our scheduled mission trip in February. (Added by editor: Anika, AHDH is definitely on our list @ http://studenttravel.about.com/od/volunteeropportunities/tp/haiti-donate-earthquake.htm ! We became familiar with AHDH through photographer Jeane LaRance's work, and wholeheartedly endorse AHDH.)
