Provo, Utah – January 13, 2010 – In the wake of the worst earthquake to strike Haiti in two centuries, the need for assistance has never been greater for the Hope for Little Angels of Haiti orphanage.
Hope for Little Angels of Haiti, the orphanage adopted by Utah-based HIT Web Design in January 2009, is located in Carrefour, which is the epicenter of the 7.0 magnitude quake that struck Haiti on Tuesday.
So far, HIT Web Design has been unable to establish any communications with the orphanage.
The International Red Cross estimates up to three million people may have been affected by the disaster. The United Nations reports electricity has been cut off and communication with island residents is difficult. In addition, many bridges have collapsed and hospitals and other care facilities have been damaged or destroyed.
The death toll could eventually reach into the thousands.
HIT Web Design is extremely anxious for the safety and well-being of its orphans. Especially in the coming days, the greatest concerns will be for food and protection against communicable diseases such as diarrhea and respiratory infections.
Most orphanages in Haiti are supported primarily by private donations, and Hope for Little Angels of Haiti is no exception. HIT Web Design urges anyone who can to make contributions that will go towards assisting the Hope for Little Angels of Haiti orphanage in recovering from this tragedy.
100 percent of all funds donated through HIT will go directly to the orphanage. Those wishing to become involved in humanitarian efforts supported by HIT may do so by visiting HITHumanitarian.com.
