A Call to Action - STAND WITH HAITI
Posted on 03/11/10
Dear Friends,
![]() |
Nearly two months ago today, an enormous earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti took the lives of more than 230,000 men, women, and children. All of the government buildings were destroyed, in addition to many homes, national landmarks and historic treasures. Amid the chaos of the physical destruction, we have witnessed many acts of courage, generosity and cooperation. The response from around the world has been heartening, and we have been privileged to work with many wonderful partners.
But we know that public attention won’t stay on Haiti for long, as new stories and new causes take over the headlines.
Partners In Health is committed to standing with Haiti now and in the months and years to come, in the communities that have long been our home and in the capital city now working to rebuild itself.
Please accept my and all of our thanks for your support of Partners In Health and of the Haitian people. And please join us as we continue to Stand With Haiti.
Gratefully,
Paul Farmer
Co-founder, Partners In Health
