Partnership Delivers Essential Aid to Haiti |
|
In response to the violence displacing many Haitians, we have been working with partners Food For The Poor and Airlink to deliver hygiene kits. These kits provide much-needed relief to Haitians who have been forced from their homes. The first shipment arrived in Port-au-Prince last week, and additional shipments are planned to ensure continued support. |

The official Atlantic Hurricane season began on June 1, and scientists are predicting an above normal season of storm activity. Forecasters say the reasons for this include very warm water temperatures and a transition from the current El Niño weather pattern to a La Niña pattern later this year.
Heart to Heart International is prepared to respond whenever and wherever we are needed in the aftermath of a hurricane. When disasters strike, access to healthcare becomes critical. We’re committed to delivering health services and vital supplies to communities impacted by these powerful storms. |
