notes: HAITI HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN #14 – PAGE 7 1/14/11: Since November, CARE has reached a total of 439,086 people with sensitization in the Northwest, Artibonite, Grande Anse, Nippes, Léogâne and Carrefour. In the camps of Léogâne and Carrefour, CARE has scaled up sensitization and hygiene promotion activities since mid-December. Indeed, apart from working with pre-established health committees or clubs and a network of volunteers, CARE has now identified, trained and engaged about 60 Community-based hygiene promotion sensitizers, to improve coverage in the communities. The hiring of such daily workers has ensured that sensitization efforts were not discontinued through the holiday season. Therefore, since December, a total of 11,816 people (notably 2,028 - including 1,255 women - in the first week of January alone) have been reached with cholera prevention in the IDP camps of Léogâne and Carrefour. In the Northwest Department, CARE reached an additional 12,740 people with sensitization activities between 18 December and 6 January, in Port-de-Paix, Chansolme, Bassin Bleu and Saint Louis du Nord. Overall, 155,688 people have now been reached by CARE teams in the department of the North West since the start of the epidemic. ------------------------------------------- Cholera and Breastfeeding: http://www.ibfanasia.org/ife/CARECholeraandBreastfeeding.pdf =========================================== FROM THE SITE: As of 24 February 2010, CARE had reached more than 241,000 people with distributions of food, PUR® water purification packets, water, jerry cans, hygiene kits, shelter kits, mattresses, blankets, newborn kits and clean delivery kits. To read more about the aid our teams are presently delivering on the ground, please click here. CARE has 133 staff already working in Haiti, with extensive experience responding to disasters. CARE began operating in Haiti in 1954 to provide relief assistance after Hurricane Hazel. Today CARE's work in Haiti includes projects in HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, maternal and child health, education, food security, and water and sanitation. ------------------------------------------ (20 January, 2010) - CARE continued delivering aid to Haiti’s hardest hit earthquake survivors Wednesday, despite security challenges, broken infrastructure, logistical roadblocks, and a severe aftershock that rocked Port-au-Prince in the early morning hours. Over the last several days, CARE has brought clean water and water purification powder to some 14,000 people, and those efforts are scheduled to ramp up in the days to come. CARE also has distributed high-protein biscuits; 1,500 collapsible water containers; and 1,200 hygiene kits, targeting women left particularly vulnerable. And the organization has procured 5,000 mattresses that will be handed out in the coming days. Shipments of PUR water purification powder, tents, first aid kits, hygiene kits and blankets are scheduled to arrive in Port-au-Prince today, with generators and more blankets scheduled to arrive later this week. The flow of aid will continue to increase over the coming days and weeks. To ensure safe and efficient delivery, CARE works with community leaders to prepare and facilitate distributions. At its hub in Leogane, for example, CARE met with the town’s leadership and logistics committees to finalize the distribution plan. “The community wanted to be involved, and they came to the table with a plan,” recounts Patrick Solomon, senior vice president of CARE’s global support services, who participated in CARE’s efforts in Leogane. “It was inspiring to see the community – and even local Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts – come together with CARE to distribute aid to their neighbors impacted by the earthquake.” In Leogane, aid distribution took place in the driveway of a telecommunications building, which is temporally occupied by the municipal authorities whose building was destroyed in the quake. The community leaders gave out chits to individuals in need, and when called upon, individuals were escorted by Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to collect their items before being guided to the exit. Distributions are calm and orderly. “The distribution in Leogane is an excellent example of how CARE works within communities to safely and successfully distribute much-needed supplies to those who need it most.” The humanitarian supply chain is getting stronger by the day, and distribution hubs have been established in the neighboring Dominican Republic and Panama, where supplies can be transferred over land or by plane. That has allowed for faster delivery of an increasing supply of aid, and despite its limited capacity the airport has handled more than 600 aircraft in the last week. CARE has sent three logisticians to ensure CARE shipments of aid arrive safely in Port-au-Prince and are quickly loaded onto trucks for swift distribution. CARE recognizes the following partners for their generous donations and in-kind support of our emergency relief efforts: Abbott, Baxter, Cargill, CARFAX, Cox Enterprises, Inc., Delta Air Lines, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Hanesbrands Inc., InterContinental Hotels Group, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Pfizer, Potash, Procter & Gamble, Quiznos, Sealift, Symantec Corporation, Teavana, 3M, Troutman Sanders and UPS. ============================ 1/13/10 Press Release from the website: http://www.care-international.org/Media-Releases/care-deploys-additional-emergency-team-members-to-haiti.html ============================ Geneva, Switzerland Contacts: Telephone: +41 22 795 10 20 FAX: +41 22 795 10 29 http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/MUMA-7ZN5JQ?OpenDocument&rc=2&emid=EQ-2010-000009-HTI CARE Readies Operations in Haiti Following Devastating Earthquake Source: CARE Date: 12 Jan 2010 CARE is assessing the damage in Haiti and readying emergency response crews following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake centered just off the coast of one of the world's poorest countries.

Today CARE's programming there reflects an integrated approach, with projects in HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, maternal and child health, education, food security, and water and sanitation. CARE works closely with local NGOs, private companies, community organizations and the Haitian government to build local capacity and achieve sustainable development. Among the CARE staff preparing to aid Haiti are relief workers who just last year helped the country recover from a series of hurricanes.

Stephanie Libby Acting Director, Strategic Communications CARE 151 Ellis Street Atlanta, Ga 30303 Office: 404.979.9182 Mobile: 404.610.0332 -> HAITI HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN #14 – PAGE 7 1/14/11: Since November, CARE has reached a total of 439,086 people with sensitization in the Northwest, Artibonite, Grande Anse, Nippes, Léogâne and Carrefour. In the camps of Léogâne and Carrefour, CARE has scaled up sensitization and hygiene promotion activities since mid-December. Indeed, apart from working with pre-established health committees or clubs and a network of volunteers, CARE has now identified, trained and engaged about 60 Community-based hygiene promotion sensitizers, to improve coverage in the communities. The hiring of such daily workers has ensured that sensitization efforts were not discontinued through the holiday season. Therefore, since December, a total of 11,816 people (notably 2,028 - including 1,255 women - in the first week of January alone) have been reached with cholera prevention in the IDP camps of Léogâne and Carrefour. In the Northwest Department, CARE reached an additional 12,740 people with sensitization activities between 18 December and 6 January, in Port-de-Paix, Chansolme, Bassin Bleu and Saint Louis du Nord. Overall, 155,688 people have now been reached by CARE teams in the department of the North West since the start of the epidemic. ------------------------------------------- Cholera and Breastfeeding: http://www.ibfanasia.org/ife/CARECholeraandBreastfeeding.pdf =========================================== FROM THE SITE: As of 24 February 2010, CARE had reached more than 241,000 people with distributions of food, PUR® water purification packets, water, jerry cans, hygiene kits, shelter kits, mattresses, blankets, newborn kits and clean delivery kits. To read more about the aid our teams are presently delivering on the ground, please click here. CARE has 133 staff already working in Haiti, with extensive experience responding to disasters. CARE began operating in Haiti in 1954 to provide relief assistance after Hurricane Hazel. Today CARE's work in Haiti includes projects in HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, maternal and child health, education, food security, and water and sanitation. ------------------------------------------ (20 January, 2010) - CARE continued delivering aid to Haiti’s hardest hit earthquake survivors Wednesday, despite security challenges, broken infrastructure, logistical roadblocks, and a severe aftershock that rocked Port-au-Prince in the early morning hours. Over the last several days, CARE has brought clean water and water purification powder to some 14,000 people, and those efforts are scheduled to ramp up in the days to come. CARE also has distributed high-protein biscuits; 1,500 collapsible water containers; and 1,200 hygiene kits, targeting women left particularly vulnerable. And the organization has procured 5,000 mattresses that will be handed out in the coming days. Shipments of PUR water purification powder, tents, first aid kits, hygiene kits and blankets are scheduled to arrive in Port-au-Prince today, with generators and more blankets scheduled to arrive later this week. The flow of aid will continue to increase over the coming days and weeks. To ensure safe and efficient delivery, CARE works with community leaders to prepare and facilitate distributions. At its hub in Leogane, for example, CARE met with the town’s leadership and logistics committees to finalize the distribution plan. “The community wanted to be involved, and they came to the table with a plan,” recounts Patrick Solomon, senior vice president of CARE’s global support services, who participated in CARE’s efforts in Leogane. “It was inspiring to see the community – and even local Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts – come together with CARE to distribute aid to their neighbors impacted by the earthquake.” In Leogane, aid distribution took place in the driveway of a telecommunications building, which is temporally occupied by the municipal authorities whose building was destroyed in the quake. The community leaders gave out chits to individuals in need, and when called upon, individuals were escorted by Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to collect their items before being guided to the exit. Distributions are calm and orderly. “The distribution in Leogane is an excellent example of how CARE works within communities to safely and successfully distribute much-needed supplies to those who need it most.” The humanitarian supply chain is getting stronger by the day, and distribution hubs have been established in the neighboring Dominican Republic and Panama, where supplies can be transferred over land or by plane. That has allowed for faster delivery of an increasing supply of aid, and despite its limited capacity the airport has handled more than 600 aircraft in the last week. CARE has sent three logisticians to ensure CARE shipments of aid arrive safely in Port-au-Prince and are quickly loaded onto trucks for swift distribution. CARE recognizes the following partners for their generous donations and in-kind support of our emergency relief efforts: Abbott, Baxter, Cargill, CARFAX, Cox Enterprises, Inc., Delta Air Lines, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Hanesbrands Inc., InterContinental Hotels Group, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Pfizer, Potash, Procter & Gamble, Quiznos, Sealift, Symantec Corporation, Teavana, 3M, Troutman Sanders and UPS. ============================ 1/13/10 Press Release from the website: http://www.care-international.org/Media-Releases/care-deploys-additional-emergency-team-members-to-haiti.html ============================ Geneva, Switzerland Contacts: Telephone: +41 22 795 10 20 FAX: +41 22 795 10 29 http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/MUMA-7ZN5JQ?OpenDocument&rc=2&emid=EQ-2010-000009-HTI CARE Readies Operations in Haiti Following Devastating Earthquake Source: CARE Date: 12 Jan 2010 CARE is assessing the damage in Haiti and readying emergency response crews following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake centered just off the coast of one of the world's poorest countries.

Stephanie Libby Acting Director, Strategic Communications CARE 151 Ellis Street Atlanta, Ga 30303 Office: 404.979.9182 Mobile: 404.610.0332 -> (20 January, 2010) - CARE continued delivering aid to Haiti’s hardest hit earthquake survivors Wednesday, despite security challenges, broken infrastructure, logistical roadblocks, and a severe aftershock that rocked Port-au-Prince in the early morning hours. Over the last several days, CARE has brought clean water and water purification powder to some 14,000 people, and those efforts are scheduled to ramp up in the days to come. CARE also has distributed high-protein biscuits; 1,500 collapsible water containers; and 1,200 hygiene kits, targeting women left particularly vulnerable. And the organization has procured 5,000 mattresses that will be handed out in the coming days. Shipments of PUR water purification powder, tents, first aid kits, hygiene kits and blankets are scheduled to arrive in Port-au-Prince today, with generators and more blankets scheduled to arrive later this week. The flow of aid will continue to increase over the coming days and weeks. To ensure safe and efficient delivery, CARE works with community leaders to prepare and facilitate distributions. At its hub in Leogane, for example, CARE met with the town’s leadership and logistics committees to finalize the distribution plan. “The community wanted to be involved, and they came to the table with a plan,” recounts Patrick Solomon, senior vice president of CARE’s global support services, who participated in CARE’s efforts in Leogane. “It was inspiring to see the community – and even local Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts – come together with CARE to distribute aid to their neighbors impacted by the earthquake.” In Leogane, aid distribution took place in the driveway of a telecommunications building, which is temporally occupied by the municipal authorities whose building was destroyed in the quake. The community leaders gave out chits to individuals in need, and when called upon, individuals were escorted by Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to collect their items before being guided to the exit. Distributions are calm and orderly. “The distribution in Leogane is an excellent example of how CARE works within communities to safely and successfully distribute much-needed supplies to those who need it most.” The humanitarian supply chain is getting stronger by the day, and distribution hubs have been established in the neighboring Dominican Republic and Panama, where supplies can be transferred over land or by plane. That has allowed for faster delivery of an increasing supply of aid, and despite its limited capacity the airport has handled more than 600 aircraft in the last week. CARE has sent three logisticians to ensure CARE shipments of aid arrive safely in Port-au-Prince and are quickly loaded onto trucks for swift distribution. CARE recognizes the following partners for their generous donations and in-kind support of our emergency relief efforts: Abbott, Baxter, Cargill, CARFAX, Cox Enterprises, Inc., Delta Air Lines, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Hanesbrands Inc., InterContinental Hotels Group, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Pfizer, Potash, Procter & Gamble, Quiznos, Sealift, Symantec Corporation, Teavana, 3M, Troutman Sanders and UPS. ============================ 1/13/10 Press Release from the website: http://www.care-international.org/Media-Releases/care-deploys-additional-emergency-team-members-to-haiti.html ============================ Geneva, Switzerland Contacts: Telephone: +41 22 795 10 20 FAX: +41 22 795 10 29 http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/MUMA-7ZN5JQ?OpenDocument&rc=2&emid=EQ-2010-000009-HTI CARE Readies Operations in Haiti Following Devastating Earthquake Source: CARE Date: 12 Jan 2010 CARE is assessing the damage in Haiti and readying emergency response crews following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake centered just off the coast of one of the world's poorest countries.
