A 7.2 magnitude Earthquake hit Les Cayes, Haiti on August 15, 2021. The quake has claimed over 1,400 lives and injured thousands more. Haiti is still showing scars of the devastating earthquake in 2010 and the following major Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Most Haitians from Les Cayes that have lost their homes to this disaster have moved to a tent city at a stadium.  

Disaster Aid Canada is working with Rotary Groups and other organizations in the affected area to help place the support in the hands of those that need it. We are prepared to send shelter to those displaced from their homes. The evaluation of need is ongoing and Disaster Aid Canada will continue to update our donors as we receive reports from the region.

Thanks to our Disaster Aid International partners in the USA and UK & Ireland who have delivered family emergency survival tents providing shelter for up to 750 persons.  2000 mosquito nets have also been distributed.  Disaster Aid Canada is now arranging delivery of 100 water filtration/purification systems each capable of producing up to 45 litres/hour of safe drinking water.  More supplies will be sent as funds are made available.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
