Ways to Help in Haiti, If You Haven’t Already (or Help Again)

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti on January 12 mobilized people and people’s humanity in a way that we may not have seen before. The growth of Web immediacy (i.e. Twitter) and sharing enabled organizations like the Red Cross to gather real funds very quickly. We do not want momentum to slip, so, here are six easy ways to give. You probably already know this first one – it has raised over $21 million:

1.Text “HAITI” to “90999″ to donate $10 to the Red Cross
2. Text “Yele” to 501501 to donate $5 to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti
3. Donate to Doctors Without Borders here (Please note, you may not be able to earmark your donation for Haiti specifically)
4. Donate to Partners in Health here
5. Donate to charity: water here
6. Donate to Unicef here
