Nashville-Based Healing Hands International Brings Relief Efforts to Haiti

Healing Hands International (HHI) of Nashville, Tennessee was recently featured on Fox 17 news for their relief efforts in Haiti.

HHI has sent down a team to assess what the greatest needs are in Haiti. The organization is asking donations to aid in the purchase of water filtration devices, food, and medical supplies

According to HHI, when disaster strikes, one of the first and strongest needs to arise is the need for clean drinking water. Unfortunately, in countries like Haiti, waterbourne diseases is one of the leading causes of death during times of crisis. HHI is purchasing water filtration systems to send to the people of Haiti so the maximum amount of poeple possible can have clean drinking water.

Food supplies are always in need in developing countries, but when disaster strikes, resources become even more scarce. HHI needs sustained financial supporters to aid them in getting food as much food as possible to those in need.

Yesterday, an orthopedic trauma unit supplied by HHI left Nashville for Haiti. During the coming weeks and months, the people of Haiti will need a continual stream of medical supplies that they simply do not have access to in their country. Your donation to HHI could help provide medical treatment to countless people who need it in Haiti.
