Helping Haiti
JERSEY Side by Side's current fundraising drive is to help the people of Haiti a year after the country was devastated by a horrific earthquake on 12 January 2010.
Between 200,000 and 300,000 people died in the natural disaster and half a million were left homeless. Almost a year on, the situation is still extremely difficult, with Haitians enduring terrible conditions and deadly diseases in sprawling camps spread around the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Jersey Side by Side has partnered with ActionAid to raise funds to purchase 12 grinding mills to transform products like maize into a consumable food and source of income.
