For Immediate Release
On August 14, 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit the Southwestern coast of Haiti. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake’s epicenter struck 7.5 miles from Saint-Louis du Sud, a small coastal town in western Haiti that is about 100 miles from Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. The current death toll stands at 2,000 and it is still rising. Thousands of homes and structures were destroyed. Our hearts are breaking for the people that have been affected.
In the wake of the devastating damage left by earthquake, Nu Generation Gospel Entertainment (NGG), FRASA and Creole Tutors in collaboration with Action Bridge, Inc. have established an Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund. This fund will help provide relief to the people impacted by the earthquake in the form of emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine, in addition to long-term recovery assistance to help residents recover and rebuild. All donations to this fund will exclusively support relief and recovery efforts in impacted areas.
All donations are tax-deductible. Funds will be spent on relief supplies including but not limited to generators, water, diapers, tents, cleaning supplies, tarps, gloves, etc. To help stimulate the Haitian economy, most supplies will be bought in Haiti.
