Even though multiple requests have been made, communicated in several ways, because of the size of the population impacted, there remains an incredible gap between the intention for aid to be delivered and the actual distribution of that aid. We are working in select communities who fall into that gap, who are not being reach by the big aid organizations. With your trust and generosity, how we do that is by sending cash and having the leaders already accountable for previous programs make large purchases of what's available in the markets to fulfill immediate needs NOW... For right now, we've refocused on food aid, including a special USAforHaiti program for the injured and malnourished. Yes! We're a Real 501(c)(3) Organization! It's good to question whether the organization you want to contribute through is who they say they are. Chances are, before the quake, you never heard of most of the small to medium sized nonprofits working with communities in Haiti, but we were out there! -> TWITTER: http://twitter.com/#!/HaitiKledevClay FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/HaitiKledevCla BLOG: http://kledev.posterous.com/ ================================ FROM THE SITE: Current Urgencies: Since the earthquake in Port au Prince on January 12th, the main challenge for people not being reached by the big aid organizations continues to be gaining access to clean water, food and shelter.

mission: Why We Exist: In Haiti, now more than ever, people struggle each day as a way of life. They struggle from lack of access to basic resources, from seeing few opportunities to improve their situations, and from the way things have “always been.” Kledèv works with people in Haiti to envision, nurture and empower a brighter, more prosperous future – beyond the struggle. Before the January 12, 2010 earthquake, Kledèv – a group of Haitians and Americans – came together to develop and implement ideas to empower the Haitian people, to discover hidden opportunities, and to find out what was needed most to help communities grow and thrive. How we did that was by listening, and by developing inspired leadership to empower communities to make noticeable differences for themselves. In light of what is happening in the wake of the quake, the circumstances are deeper than ever, but our commitment and vision remain unchanged. We will continue to create programs that combine providing much-needed basic services NOW with a future vision for creating new infrastructures that support life and attract sustainable commerce. By growing our programs to include everyone in a community, including children, and by fostering creative partnerships with organizations that have projects that are already working in specific areas, our promise is to bring forth a life beyond the struggle for people in Haiti. Kledèv works with other NGOs while casting a wide net around the world in search of the best ideas. Our aim is to create a broad community to work in tandem with Haitian communities and to help the Haitian people to achieve a brighter, more prosperous future – beyond the struggle. -> Why We Exist: In Haiti, now more than ever, people struggle each day as a way of life.
