Within 24 hours of the January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti, Hope for Haiti responded with emergency relief buckets and the distribution of medical supplies. The organization has since airlifted thousands of pounds of medicines, supplies, construction materials, food and water and safely distributed them to the survivors. Hope for Haiti field staff were involved in organizing a trauma center at the hotel Villa Creole and at "L'Hôpital Général" in Port-au-Prince.
