Many have asked the Office of International Affairs how or where to donate money toward the massive relief effort following the devastating earthquake in Haiti. We here provide information published by the Association of International Education Administrators, AIEA.

FROM AIEA


Disastrous Earthquake in Haiti -- On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti shortly before 5:00 p.m. that evening. There is no estimate as to how many have been pronounced dead or wounded, but an American Red Cross spokeswoman warned that “up to 3 million people may have been affected.” For more information, please visit CNN's website: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/12/haiti.earthquake/index.html

How can you help? The following is a list of organizations that are providing direct relief to Haiti:

For those interested in helping immediately, simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

Or text "YELE" to "501501" and a donation of $5 will be given automatically to Yele Haiti to help with relief efforts.
