An update from Lamp For Haiti on how you can helpSaturday’s earthquake, affecting the southern arm of Haiti, has claimed 1,300 lives. These numbers will continue to climb for some time, and rescue efforts will be further complicated as tropical storm Grace brings rain and high winds to the area. Lamp for Haiti, like many other agencies, is assessing the situation to determine the most effective role we can play. Our health center is not in the crisis zone, but we feel we must contribute if we are able to do so effectively, and in coordination with other efforts that are underway.![]()
![]()
One of our best sources of information has been the assessment done by one of our partners, St. Luke Foundation for Haiti, which operates a major hospital in Port-au-Prince. Teams from St. Luke travelled the length of the southern arm, crossing – by foot -- a major landslide that has blocked the main highway. Though St. Luke is predominantly a health-related organization, they feel right now they can be most helpful in other ways. St. Luke has set aside 50 beds in their hospital, though at present they feel they are unlikely to need all of them. This "first look" seems to indicate that most of the critical patients have already been transported to Port-au-Prince -- we hope that is the case. Their decision, based on requests they received, is to focus on provision of building materials. In other words, they are already embarking on the long road of rebuilding the shattered infrastructure of the region. Our own Lamp staff member, Anglanes, who lives in the earthquake zone and whose home was destroyed two days ago, is validation of the widespread need for basic housing.![]()
![]()
With this, and other assessments, in mind, we at Lamp feel we can best assist in the ongoing relief efforts by channeling funds we receive for this emergency to those partner agencies, such as St. Luke Foundation, and Catholic Medical Mission Board (which has an established hospital on the southern peninsula) that are on the front lines of the relief effort. Our own Lamp for Haiti Health Center remains open in Port-au-Prince, and we remain ready to assist with staff, materials and other assistance if needed. We will continue to monitor the situation, making certain not to miss an opportunity to respond more directly to the relief effort. ![]()
![]()
We encourage our supporters to donate directly to the partner agencies mentioned (stlukehaiti.org and CMMB.org). The region is the same part of the country that was ravaged by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and is again enduring a tremendous level of suffering. We wish our partners and all relief agencies in the area the best. Lamp will continue to update supporters as best we can.![]()
![]()
Healthcare, partnership, community. We stand in solidarity with the people of the region, and with our partner organizations – may this trial pass quickly.![]()
