United Way’s Response to Earthquakes in Chile and Haiti

United Way's local organization in Chile, Sociedad Activa, along with other United Way organizations throughout Latin America have mobilized to respond to the catastrophic earthquake that hit Chile on the morning of February 27. Their staff, volunteer leaders and resources are responding, and will work together to determine the most pressing long-term recovery needs in the areas affected by this earthquake.

In the wake of a disaster, United Way's role is to support long-term recovery efforts to rebuild lives and communities devastated by the disaster and to address educational, financial and health-related challenges.

United Way Worldwide has created the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund, introduced a text-to-give program, and is coordinating the integration of efforts from United Ways around the world, in cooperation with our corporate partners and other NGOS. Donations to the Fund will go toward long-term recovery and rebuilding in Chile, as well as meet the needs of Chileans affected by the disaster.

In response to the earthquake in Haiti, the United Way system worldwide and its corporate partners are working with Haitian community networks to determine the most pressing long-term recovery needs.

Donations to the Fund will go toward long-term recovery and rebuilding in Haiti, as well as to meet the needs of Haitians affected by the disaster who have relocated to the U.S.A. and throughout the Caribbean. United Way Worldwide has worked with the U.S. government – the White House, Congress, State Department, Department of Homeland Security, USAID – to incent non-taxable donations to Haiti (to ensure policy makers understand the critical donation curve, and that time is of the essence), and to underscore the vital role of U.S. and international NGOs in Haiti's long-term recovery.
