Please help us by supporting our innovative and cost effective programme to help the Haitian people get back on their feet. One thousand Lifeline radios are en route to Haiti now, but hundreds more are needed in the earthquake zone, where many people still do not have access to electricity. We are working with three proven partners: The National Democratic Institute (NDI), International Relief and Development (IRD) and the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC). Shortly after the earthquake, our fundraising campaign was kick-started by our US ambassador, Tom Hanks.

Your donation will ensure the vulnerable and displaced receive vital, ongoing information that will help them rebuild their lives.

For more than 10 years, NDI has worked with a national network of 179 community action committees throughout the country, led by grassroots activists who are uniquely positioned to identify and coordinate community needs with local Haitian authorities and international aid organisations. We are working with NDI to distribute hundreds of Lifeline radios from the committees' Relief Coordination Centres. Likewise, we are working with IRD in camps to get hundreds of radios to the displaced and with AMARC to disburse radios to groups organised around Creole-language community radio stations. All of the radios will be distributed prior to hurricane season, during which they will serve as early-warning tools, as well.

The cost of a delivered Lifeline radio is $60.00 however any amount will be appreciated. This equals a few cents per person.
