Haiti

Haiti, January 2010
On Tuesday, 12 January 2010, the Caribbean territory of Haiti was hit by the worst earthquake in 200 years. Measuring over 7 on the Richter Scale, the earthquake flattened most of the island's capital Port-au-Prince.

Hundreds of thousands are feared dead, while an estimated 3 million have been displaced or otherwise affected. One can appreciate that with a disaster on this scale, local authorities and humanitarian organisations are struggling to rescue survivors and distribute essential supplies.

CUACAS is deeply moved by the reports and devastating images coming from the region and urges all members, friends and associates of the Society to give generously in support of the relief effort in whatever way they can.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Haitian people (local and internationally dispersed) during this difficult time. UK based members may wish to coordinate their giving through the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) (alternatively you may text "GIVE" to 70077) or The British Red Cross.

Get Involved

Fundraising for the fund primarily operates at a grassroots level as we firmly believe in the principle that communities should lead the way in supporting and empowering their own.
As an example, if each member of the African and Caribbean Alumni community worldwide, made an annual donation of just £100, we would have more than enough to support the success of each eligible applicant within the current academic year. While you are free to make this and larger pledges, we are sensitive to the fact that these are difficult times and are currently requesting minimum donations of £25.
We also welcome support from interested charities and corporate sponsors who support our aims and objectives.
You can help by:

• Spreading the word among your personal network (social, academic and professional);
• Volunteering for fundraising events - large or small;
• Pledging an annual donation to the fund.

Please use the button below to go directly to our paypal pages. We respectfully ask for minimum donations of £25.
Thanks in advance for your support.
