More about how companies can help
1. Provide in-kind assistance to the UN
Participating UN agencies funds and programmes have been invited to submit needs for in-kind support via this website as needs assessments are completed. Please check back here to see requests as they are added in coming days.
Companies are also welcome to propose ideas for partnership directly via this website. Please indicate that your proposal is in response to the earthquake in Haiti to ensure it is directed to the relevant parties across the UN system.
2. Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF)
Provide funding to the CERF, a global fund to help victims of disasters and conflicts around the world. Prior to the earthquake, CERF had already allocated nearly $39 million for humanitarian response in Haiti since 2006. Haiti is the sort of international aid “orphan” the CERF was created to help.
