We have begun this year with terrible and devastating news about the loss and devastation in Haiti, caused by the 7.0 earthquake. The pain and sorrow of our sisters and brothers in Haiti is being beamed across the world, but aid efforts have not been reaching those most in need because of a myriad of problems.
CAFRA has a large membership base in Haiti but so far They have not been able to make contact with anyone in the Capital, Port Au Prince. CAFRA has communicated with some members in Cap Haitien but they do not have any further updates because the communication network is in disarray.
CAFRA is one of the oldest, most dynamic and pioneering coalitions of Caribbean women leaders working for grassroots development through national committees across the Caribbean, including in Haiti. MATCH is proud to be a partner with CAFRA for close to five years.
