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.
