Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Equipment, infrastructure and support provided to local Haitian media will improve their ability to inform their communities, ultimately providing Haitians with the information they need to participate in long-term relief and recovery.

Project Message

“The radio station is the people’s life right now. Without the radio station, the country is dead. Without the radio station, we can’t communicate. We don’t have anything.’’

TIME video on radio news in Haiti
Two recent videos highlight the work you're supporting in Haiti.

From TIME magazine and Unicef, the videos show the work of local journalists in Haiti, producing daily news and distributing radios so those affected by the earthquake have accurate information about aid, health, and recovery.

Thank you again for your support! Please share these videos with others who might be interested in humanitarian media in Haiti.
