Further information on the Haiti support.

After the earthquake struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti, Lions Clubs International Foundation and Lions worldwide immediately responded. Through the generosity of multiple districts, districts, clubs and individuals, more than US$2 million has been mobilized in the past month to ensure immediate needs are being met and long-term reconstruction is a top priority.

 Words of Thanks for Lions' Relief in Haiti

"It has been a day of blessings in that around 9 a.m. the Lions arrived to tell me our soccer areas have been chosen to receive their aid, which includes well formed tents, hot kitchen area, school in a box, dental and eye care. It is a real shot in the arm for us, as I had begun to accept that our neighbourhood would have to move to one of the huge tent areas in order to obtain shelter and food. Since writing this, the initial boxes from the Lions club have arrived. I am glad the neighbours will soon have tents, hot food and everything else promised."

Sister Mary Finnick, Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart, Haiti


Funds Provide Shelter, Food, Water to Victims
Lions provided immediate needs, including water, food and medical supplies on January 22. These supplies were distributed by Haitian Lions and Leos to a hospital and orphanage. LCIF partnered with the Lions of Sweden to provide 200 large tents to house those who are now homeless as well as relief workers. Haitian Lions have established three tent cities in Delmas, Blanchard and Carrefour-Feuille, neighbourhoods located in Port-au-Prince. Each tent city can accommodate 300 families or 1,200 people. Lions are focusing their immediate relief efforts to support and maintain these tent cities.

Relief Efforts Furthered by Leveraging Funds
To further relief efforts in Haiti, LCIF is reaching out to organizations in both Haiti and around the world. The International Organization of Migration has offered to provide supplies and assistance to Lions camps. LCIF is also partnering with the shipping company, Maersk, and the World Food Program, to ship tents donated by Lions of Sweden and food donated by the World Food Program, to Haiti free of charge. Additionally, the Foundation is in final discussions to partner with USAID and Catholic Relief Services.

We are delighted to report that we have been able to assist in the provision of a clever rising and reclining chair for Robert Kane of Tilsworth.

 Robert suffers from a severe muscle wasting disease and the chair will help him to maintain a more normal life with his 2 children.

The club was approached by a Community Occupational Therapist with a request to assist with the purchase of the chair for £1249 which was accomplished rapidly.
