Lutherans Work to Build Shelters in Haiti

by Ben  | Filed under Ministries March 6, 2010 16:29

Since the earthquake, the ELCA has received more than $4.6 million to support humanitarian relief efforts in Haiti. Financial gifts from the ELCA are used to purchase and distribute medicine, drinking water, food, emergency shelter, sanitation and hygiene kits and other materials to aid survivors of the earthquake. Lutherans are also working to provide psychosocial services and other support.  Haitians have also received more than 31,000 hygiene kits, some 4,500 baby care kits and about 4,000 blankets since the earthquake. More than 150,000 people have been provided water, sanitation, shelter or food.  The funds are continuing to be distributed to the three partner organizations of the ELCA working on the ground in Haiti.  Members of Advent Lutheran Church contributed more than $1000.00 to help in these humanitarian relief efforts.
