Springfield, Mo. -- As health officials in Haiti work to control an outbreak of cholera, Convoy of Hope and its in-country partner, Mission of Hope, are monitoring the situation and making preparations to respond.

"At this time we stand ready to send in additional sawyer water filters to affected areas where we have a presence through our feeding programs," says Kevin Rose, field operations director for Convoy of Hope. "Mission of Hope is also prepared to go into communities to set up rehydration centers in churches and schools in affected areas."

More than 200 people have died since the outbreak. Officials and aid organizations fear the cholera could spread rapidly in the tent camps in and around Port-au-Prince where 1 million people fled after the earthquake in January.

"Convoy of Hope and Mission of Hope are preparing for the worst, but expecting the best," adds Rose. "We'll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly."

A three-year strategy for Haiti

Convoy of Hope President Hal Donaldson shares highlights of the organization’s three-year strategy for Haiti

It’s been three months since a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. More than 200,000 people were killed and 1 million were left homeless. Though the weeks since the earthquake have been trying for the Haitian people, your generosity has given countless families in Haiti the strength to move forward and rebuild their lives.

For that, I thank you. By partnering with us you have enabled us to:

* Provide more than 8.5 million meals

* Serve 1 million people

* Distribute 4 million of pounds of food, water filters, hygiene kits and other supplies to Earthquake survivors.

Before the earthquake struck, we were already feeding 11,000 school children each day in Haiti. Part of our three-year strategy is to expand our children’s feeding initiative to 45,000 kids.

The daily meal we provide is sometimes the only food these children receive. In other words, when we feed children, we play a part in keeping them in school where they are learning to read, write and do math. It’s a worthwhile investment because the children of Haiti are the future of Haiti.

Another part of our three-year strategy is to continue sending food, water filters, shoes, hygiene kits and other supplies to Haiti. These valuable resources will not only help us expand our feeding initiative, but they will help our partners expand their work, too.

We’ve also committed to helping rebuild schools and community centers so that the Haitian people can become more self-sufficient. By equipping the people with tools, training and resources, we are ensuring they have the means to live better lives.

Our promise to you is that with your continued help we will remain in Haiti feeding hungry children and helping their families and communities for many years to come.

Thanks for caring enough to make a difference in our world.

Hal Donaldson
