"Everyone fighting for water and gas to move loved ones. A lot of panic and they said they will be where the office was. Some partners found and others are dead." January 16, 2010
Most of our partners are living in Port-au-Prince slums - the worst hit of all areas impacted by the earthquake. As soon as possible we will report to you on the condition of each partner individually.

The mission of PINP is long-term personal development through partnership, but we are also working to provide immediate need during this crisis. Click here for details, or donate below.

testimonials

"I am very happy to have become part of the solution for these two beautiful people. I appreciate your approach to the issue of humanitarian aid. By allowing your donors to connect with individuals, it doesn't really matter if the problem of global poverty and human rights abuses are resolved by a monthly donation. What matters is that at least one person on the receiving end will hopefully have their burden eased, and will know that someone "out there" has chosen them, believes in them, and cares what happens to them. Powerful stuff..." Lynne Cassone
