Lions in Haiti

A 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, with continuing aftershocks. Lions around the world are responding generously and quickly to the LCIF designated fund for this disaster.

Lions Hope for Haiti has mobilized more than US$2 million to date. Lions Hope for Haiti is Lions and LCIF working together to provide relief and hope for the people of Haiti. Donations are continuing to pour in from individuals, clubs and districts.

LCIF is working directly with Lions of Haiti as well as Lions in neighboring countries to assess the immediate needs and also develop a long-term reconstruction plan. Two containers of relief supplies have been transported by Dominican Republic Lions to Haitian Lions and Leos, and supplies were distributed to an orphanage and hospital and the tent cities. Two hundred tents have set up for victims and relief workers to establish three Lions tent cities in Delmas, Blanchard and Carrefour-Feuille.  Each tent city can accommodate 300 families or 1,200 people.

In Vermont, donations for Haiti can be made to Vermont Lions Charities, a 501 (3) c Charity. You can be assured that all the money sent to LCIF is used 100% for the victims of Haiti. Please put Haiti Relief in the memo line.
