Haiti Earthquake Response

August 2021
Area Assisted: Haiti

Just 24 hours after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the community of Haiti, Sol Relief, World Hope International, and Caribbean Partnership Missions flew their first relief flight to the devastated area to deliver water containers. These containers were delivered to the hardest hit areas and used to make clean drinking water for those in need.

With over 1300 people confirmed dead, more than 5000 injured, thousands left homeless and Tropical Depression Grace hampering relief efforts, the people of Haiti needed help.

Sol Relief worked with its partners to provide last mile flight logistics from Port-au-Prince to Jérémie and Les Cayes.

We also continued to assess the immediate needs of the Haitian community, provided logistics support to our partners, and worked to provide the most efficient and effective relief following the earthquake.

Providing Clean Drinking Water

The water containers that were delivered were distributed and used to make 5,700 gallons of clean drinking water for the most vulnerable in the Haitian community.

We continued to work with our partners on the ground by supporting the flight coordination and logistics for their teams and supplies. The situation on the ground was still dire and the people of Haiti were in need of help.
