We have all seen the horrific images from Haiti as more and more detail of the damage and lives lost mount. The outpour from people has been tremendous and the willingness to lend a hand to people in dire times is remarkable. LOHAS would like to point out some of the qualified aid groups that are not bogged down in logistics and be more able to provide immediate aid and awareness of crisis areas. We feel these are legitimate ways that your contributions will make a difference and what are some options that are LOHAS oriented.
The CAN-DO.org organization is on the ground and has been since the quake – their efforts can be seen on www.VirtualVolunteer.tv. The footage is truly unfathomable and aid is not being delivered effectively. They have coordinated a Haitian team with more than 20 water trucks and distribution points and is getting the aid delivered directly to those who need it - hospitals, refugee camps, and more. CAN-DO is also documenting the relief process and will continue to do so to promote direct action, accountability, and results.
They are in dire need of large tents, non-perishable food items, and other emergency supplies. Please forward this to any companies or organizations you know who can contribute, or consider donating towards this. All donations make a direct impact and are tax-deductible. Christie Communications is supporting their efforts in the States by being their point of outreach and contact.
The marketing group Blue Moon has joined forces with Triton Media to help make a difference. Even after people donate money to the cause they still want to try and help. Triton Media is putting together a campaign on their 650+ Loyalty Media sites, including Clear Channel, the Chicago Tribune and CBS where 9.5 million members in their database can donate their loyalty points to help send care packages to Haiti.
Blue Moon will promote this campaign on air, on-line, in-stream via Triton’s 5,000 affiliate terrestrial and internet only stations and via Social Media sites to encourage people to go to haitineedsyourhelp.com to donate their points to purchase care packages and supplies like shelter, water purification systems and communications systems to help those in need.
They have people on the ground in Haiti at the clinic run by Friends of the Children of Haiti to distribute supplies, as well as Soles 4 Souls, the Salvation Army and more. They are reaching out to potential partners to underwrite this program - this may be a company or individual or group and may be in the form of cash to purchase donations or donated supplies - any ideas and suggestions any of you have would be greatly appreciated.
Partners will be included in the following:
–Loyalty program on up to 650+ local media sites
–Loyalty program on Triton’s National promotional site PrizeFrog.com
–Prominent placement on the custom url haitineedsyourhelp.com dedicated to this relief effort
–Minimum of 10 million impressions on Triton’s Digital Media Network
–Inclusion in our Social Media efforts to encourage members to invite their friends and family to participate
–Exposure via video placement where our audience can view a video about you, your company, product and commitment to help. By watching this video, the member will earn more points to donate back to the cause.
–Incentive of points to click a link to donate money
–Incentive of points to click a link to your website to learn more
Investment to make this happen:
o $10,000 to activate program
o Supplies (or budget to cover supply costs)
o Budget for shipping
At the end of the day, this is about helping the people of Haiti but with Triton’s generous media donation, Blue Moon can also prominently highlight those companies that participate. Contact Blue Moon for more details.
There has also been an announcement of a Sustainable Haiti Conference March 19th in Miami. Sustainable Haiti will include 25 seminars and over 60 speakers- social entrepreneurs and social investors from around the world, US government officials, NGOs, leaders of the Haitian diaspora + Haitian government officials and faith-based groups.
Treehugger has identified some great green oriented aid services on their website that are green oriented relief organizations working in Haiti.
