On Monday President Bill Clinton, the UN Special Envoy for Haiti,
traveled to Haiti to deliver emergency relief supplies, assess needs, and meet
with Haitian Prime Minister Bellerive regarding immediate and long-term
recovery. Today President Clinton and President George W. Bush are continuing
their work to raise funds to help rebuild Haiti.
Dear Friend,
Five days ago, we launched a major effort to respond to the immediate and
long-term needs of the people of Haiti. Already, more than 130,000 people have
responded by donating funds.
Thank you for being one of them. We are touched by the outpouring of
support and compassion for our neighbors.
The challenges in Haiti are enormous, and the road ahead will be long.
Our immediate priority is to save lives. Organizations are on the ground
delivering aid to as many people as possible, but many more people need
assistance. We're responding to the unmet needs.
One hundred percent of your online donation will go toward relief efforts
and helping Haiti rebuild in the coming years. We are committed to quickly
spending your contributions on the Haitian people's immediate needs and wisely
investing in their long-term rebuilding.
Please consider making another donation -- and encouraging your friends
and family to do the same -- at:

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, making rescue
efforts even more difficult. Much of the infrastructure has been destroyed.
We're doing everything we can to help those in most need of assistance.
And, through the generosity of caring citizens like you, we will ensure these
efforts are sustained.
With gratitude for your ongoing support,
Bill Clinton
George W. Bush

The earthquake that rocked the coast of Haiti killed or injured a
devastating number of people. Even more were left in need of aid, making this
one of the major humanitarian emergencies in the history of the Americas. In
the aftermath of the disaster, President Barack Obama asked President Bill
Clinton and President George W. Bush to raise funds for immediate, high-impact
relief and long-term recovery efforts to help those who are most in need of
assistance. In response, the two Presidents established the Clinton Bush Haiti
Fund (CBHF) to respond to unmet needs in the country, foster economic
opportunity, improve the quality of life over the long term for those affected,
and assist the people of Haiti as they rebuild their lives and "build back
better." The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund will do this by working with and
supporting the efforts of reputable 501(c)(3) nongovernmental and nonprofit
organizations. Presidents Clinton and Bush oversee the CBHF through their
respective nonprofit organizations, the William J. Clinton Foundation and
Communities Foundation of Texas. One hundred percent of donations received by
the Clinton Foundation and the Communities Foundation of Texas go directly to
relief efforts. For more information, visit www.clintonbushhaitifund.org.
