For the 2010 earthquake, we provided support through contributing to the International Federation of the Red Cross Emergency Appeal, Pan American Health Organisation, Merlin, Action Contre Le Faim, Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development, Humanity and Inclusion, Oxfam and the International Organisation for Migration to address urgent humanitarian need.

To assist in enabling the international response, we provided support to the World Food Programme, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, CARE and the Government of Haiti. Additionally, we contributed to The Sun “Helping Haiti Appeal”.

During the cholera response of 2010-2011, we provided support through Oxfam, Plan and the Pan American Health Organisation.
