DONATIONS FOR HAITI

If you would like to support the humanitarian aid response in Haiti we recommend channeling your donation via the following colleague funders, who are in direct contact with local Haitian women's groups. Please contact Global Fund for Women or MADRE for information about the Feminist International Solidarity Camp:

Dwa Fanm www.dwafanm.org
Lambi Fund of Haiti www.lambifund.org
Global Fund for Women www.globalfundforwomen.org
MADRE www.madre.org

The solidarity camp is named after Myriam Merlet, a feminist activist who was killed in the earthquake last week. The Feminist International Solidarity Camp will help mobilize and transfer resources, and open channels of communications directly with Haitian women on the frontier between the Dominican Republic & Haiti.  As a project organized by women’s groups in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and elsewhere in Latin America & the Caribbean and beyond, the Camp will be eventually handed over to Haitian women.

It is organized as a Resource Center for international solidarity efforts to send resources directly to the women of Haiti, and also work with Human Rights defenders from Haiti to monitor, denounce and demand legal action regarding violations of human rights including women’s human rights during the earthquake and the aftermath.  
 
Also to be included is a Health Center to help deal the grief, injuries, illnesses and traumas of the earthquake.  The space will also serve as a Communications Center to include radio transmissions via Internet by FIRE (Feminist International Radio Endeavour), as well as blogs, and electronic networks organized by women’s communication networks throughout the region.
