News coverage from Haiti is fading fast. It is simply no longer in the headlines! Yet thousands of people died and thousands more will unless we continue to JUST HELP HAITI.
When emergency relief aid is over Just a Drop engineers will fly in to assess the situation on the ground to establish how water supplies and sanitation can be rebuilt for local communities.
We are able to do this because of the generous support received over the last month with the travel & tourism industry particularly fast to rally behind our Appeal.
For example, All Leisure group plc is aiming to raise £1 million and its partners Kuoni, P&O, Shearings, Thomas Cook and Tui Travel together with All Leisure Group have each already donated £25,000.
“This tragic disaster has left Haiti with enormous challenges to overcome and long after the headlines have gone the people of Haiti will still need our support” said Roger Allard, Chairman of All Leisure group plc.
“By raising £1 million we hope to aid the urgent water shortage problems and, just as importantly, help with the vital ongoing support to ensure that the recovery process is sustained. We implore the industry to rally behind this campaign to help raise our first target of £250,000.”

Reed Exhibitions rallies around Haiti
Once the initial relief period is over, as in the case of the Tsunami in 2004, we will fly out our engineers to meet with agencies and local people to decide which essential projects need to be undertaken. Then we will work with construction teams to help rebuild the water and sanitation infrastructure and encourage displaced communities back to their homes and villages.
Reed Exhibitions, parent company of World Travel Market, has also stepped up to the plate with many events already lending their support.
Experts are saying that it will take more than 10 years to rebuild Haiti. Just a Drop is ready to make a start but how much we can do depends on you.
DON’T FORGET HAITI! Please continue to give your personal or company support. Thank you!
100% of funds raised for Haiti will go to Haiti and help us rebuild the country's water and sanitation infrastructure at a local community level.
