Partners in Health (http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti) has been operating in Haiti for over 20 years and of all the aide organizations we’ve taken a look at, they have the best built-in infrastructure in the already chaotic country. They’ve also been actively recruiting nurses and doctors with emergency room experience to head down to Haiti to help out with all the traumas.

Shelterbox (www.shelterbox.com) responds to disasters like the earthquake by distributing all-purpose “shelterboxes”, kits that include everything a family needs to weather a crisis, such as a sturdy 10-person tent, blankets, a stove, and even coloring books for children. Shelterbox also gives each individual box a unique identification number so that you can track your box from its point of departure to its new home in Haiti.
