 Increasing Giving and Saving Lives By Providing Accurate and Breaking News about Nonprofits Active in Haiti

The Top 100 internet-based directory is intended to provide citizens with comprehensive, fact-based and up-to-the minute information about each nonprofit. “The sheer magnitude of the humanitarian tragedy and the immense diversity of nonprofits active in Haiti make it a daunting task for individuals to choose a nonprofit to make a donation to,” said Catherine Zhang, publisher of Haiti Earthquake Magazine. Catherine Zhang added: “The magnitude of the challenge in Haiti requires scalability in order to save lives – I am a finance person and I know that money is a big part of this equation. We therefore want to expand the number of people giving to the people of Haiti – and increase the amount donated by each person. I believe that a combination of accurate, fact-based and breaking news about the heroic humanitarian work performed by the nonprofits that are active in Haiti will cut through the confusion, increase donations and contribute to saving lives.”

 Haiti Earthquake Magazine is continuously updating the Haiti Top 100 Directory and welcomes updates from nonprofits on their latest activities in Haiti.
