It is unbelievably heart-wrenching to hear about and see the images from the earthquake in Haiti. What's totally awesome is that aid arrived in Haiti really quickly and that they continue to find survivors. Also, there were many groups already in Haiti, that were ready to mobilize immediately after the earthquake and confirming that their staff and family members were safe.
The LA Times has some aftermath photos that will break your heart.
Some groups that I found that were already in Haiti are:
UNICEF - I think only 1% goes to admin.
Save The Children - I heard the CEO speak on GMA on how they're helping Haiti and the plans they have....Only 4% of the donated $$ goes to admin; another 4% goes to fundraising; and the rest goes to helping ppl.
World Vision - GMA was in Haiti and they interviewed a group leader from World Vision. She said that since their staff and family members were safe, they were immediately able to implement rescue efforts in Haiti. Amazing. 5% is for admin; 8% for fundraising.
Doctors Without Borders - 1% for admin and 12 % for fundraising.
Tzu Chi - Here's a link to their press releases.
