The counter on A Home in Haiti's website currently reads 7 days, 8 hours, 33 min, and 53 seconds. It's counting down the time until the rainy season arrives in Haiti.
The website reads, "In just a few days, it will begin to rain regularly in Haiti. Could you imagine living outside, permanently, in the rain, with nothing but cloth sheets held up by sticks to protect you? Currently, this is set to be the very harsh reality for over 700,000 Haitian men, women, and children who still have nothing to protect them from the elements."
In an attempt to help shelter homeless Haitians, A Home In Haiti has worked out an agreement with tent-makers to sell thousands of tents to their organization at a discounted price. They are flying these tents straight to Haiti, and distributing them to people in need.
"When you purchase waterproof tents or donate cash directly, it will provide an immediate home in Haiti for people that so desperately need it. These tents are Phase 1 of our long-term project, but are not debatable or optional."
"Yes - homes of wood and stone and steel are needed. We are working on that RIGHT NOW, but while we work, we must ensure that we ACT to provide shelter from the impending rainy season that begins in March and hurricane season that begins in June. Our tents are flown & shipped weekly to Haiti through trusted partners and are distributed directly by experienced professionals on the ground."
