Mission: Global DIRT (Disaster Immediate Response Team) was founded in January 2010 by it’s president Adam Marlatt, shortly after the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Adam and co-founder Robert Sullivan were both first responders to the disaster, and have been on the ground ever since. Using their experiences as members of the United States Marine Corps, they have constructed a small all-volunteer force dedicated to providing immediate assistance to victims of disasters all around the globe.

In a sea of NGOs all trying to make a difference in these desperate times, DIRT stands out in the crowd. We act as an intermediary between larger organizations, hospitals, military, and the victims, all while putting the best interest of the victims first. We operate when other organizations will not, and provide immediate assistance that many organizations can not. We are small, but we are dedicated. We are making a difference.

The Global DIRT team is currently continuing to serve in Haiti, where we have earned a reputation as a go-to NGO for assistance in transportation and logistics. We are helping to provide water, food and medical supplies in areas that are not always being reached by larger organizations. We also specialize in emergency patient transfers, and are working diligently on ways to improve communication between local hospitals and clinics. We are committed to making a difference by providing quality service and a continued objective of putting the victim first.

Global DIRT is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. 100% of all donations go directly towards supporting the team and helping to make a difference in the lives of disaster victims everywhere.


Areas Served: Port au Prince & directly surrounding areas

Notes:

Global DIRT is currently dedicating all man-power and resources to provide relief in any way possible to the victims of the recent earthquake that devastated the nation of Haiti.

We will continue serving in Haiti through the upcoming hurricane season and beyond, and this is made possible solely by our volunteers and the donations of our supporters. On behalf of the people of Haiti we thank you for your continued support!

Global DIRT is currently working with partners on fundraisers and events in and around the Portsmouth, NH region. We would like to thank all of those who have and continue to support us in our efforts to provide aid to the Haitian people. We will post information on events here as we have it!

For those who would like to volunteer to serve with Global DIRT, either on the ground or by assisting in fundraisers, please fill out the form on our Contact page with your information and we will be in touch. We are currently compiling information on potential volunteers for future endeavors, and are looking particularly for people with a medical background.

Of course, the easiest way you can support Global DIRT and the people of Haiti is through donations. 100% of all proceeds go directly to funding operations and helping to rebuild Haiti for a brighter tomorrow.
