Fran Shaw knows the founders and directors; they run a Christian orphanage in the NW part of Haiti that was undamaged. Though not involved in the immediate relief efforts, they already have plans in place to be involved in recovery. Through their many long term partnerships there, they will be able to empower many nationals to significantly help their people through the recovery process. They will also send mission teams when the recovery process begins. Haiti relief funds will be designated for recovery and rebuilding. See their website for more specific information.

On-going Opportunities to Help Throughout the World:
Each of the organizations listed on the reverse side also provide on-going assistance to countries and relief assistance worldwide.
Micro Business Loans
Micro loans are a relatively new concept for providing opportunities to those who live in chronic poverty. We can donate to an organization which pools resources of people around the globe, then uses these gifts to provide loans, business training, and financial services to entrepreneurs in some of the poorest parts of the world.
Child Sponsorship
As a child sponsor, you have the unique opportunity to holistically change the life of a child forever. You will be personally connected with a child living in poverty. You can write to them and pray for them by name, and often they will do the same. Your child's care includes family style living, nutritional meals, medical care and an education.
Some of the organizations which provide these are:
India Gospel League
