Foreign Aid to Haiti Re #Matthew
sadly over double that number now according to the BBC and will probably continue to rise
The Red Cross in the Netherlands is collecting money for Haiti.

more and more Haitians both on the ground and in the diaspora are asking us NOT to give money to ANY international aid groups based on how little impact the international groups had after the earthquake and the hurricane.
The most effective medical group on the ground in Haiti is Partners in Health http://www.pih.org
I have met people who have worked with them and they report that the group is extremely well run, it both employs and trains many Haitian doctors.

I ask that you call, Chiri, as I fear that my vocabulary or my deaf ear will fail me just when I need them the most. Donations can be destabilizing. After the quake, they were accepting all and everything but this is more localized and they may be only asking for medicines or the like..

some may note the elegance of the coffin.. in Haiti - for a reason that escapes the understanding of most outside observers - mos t of the money in a person's life is spent on his funeral.. I suppose this is something like going out in a blaze of glory.. or going home to guinan.. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/07/world/americas/hurricane-matthew-haiti.html

It is probably better not to send things - I was reading about the way the well-intentioned donations of supplies snarled up the system, fell into the wrong hands, or were unsuitable anyway. After the earthquake we sent boxes of non-perishable foods like canned sardines and beans, I hope they did get to people who really needed them.
Here is one organisation that works in the Jeremie area*http://hhfoundation.wpengine.com/

The Lambi fund is the top designated fund in that list for redevelopment. If you are an Amazon customer, you may designation them as the beneficiary of a percentage of your purchase on certain goods through the Smile Amazon program. I have done this for years.

this is the medical team recommended per Chiri's post..
they charge an 8% fee (certainly cheaper than the Red Crass)

NOTE PLEASE
UNLESS your group is a REGISTERED NGO in HAITI all donations will most likely be TAXED at the border or the airport
This is simply going to happen
Do not get up in arms over this
Send the money to the proper Haitian groups so that they can buy the goods in Haiti
Or pay the appropriate taxes on imported goods from the Dominican Republic
