Fight Poverty in Haiti

Food For The Poor — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:58:49 -0700

Over 80% of the population lives on less than $2 a day.
In Cite Soleil, the Western Hemisphere's biggest slum built on the coast of the capital city, mothers feed their children cookies made of mud to quell hunger pains.
Haiti is the most impoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere, and it is merely miles off the American coast--just over an hour flight from South Beach.
There, women, men, and children are starving to death.
Yet for $12, you could feed a family for a month.
Please help today.

Trees For Haiti

Haiti is over 98% deforested.

What was once a lush, tropical paradise is now brown, barren, and forgotten.

When it rains, the lands flood because the nutrient-deficient soil cannot hold the water.

The people are starving, as is their land.

Together, we can fight hunger, poverty, and global warming. Plant a fruit tree in Haiti today for just $10:
