Solidarity with the people of Haiti

The European Anti Poverty Network (EAPN) and Dignity International have joined together to express their solidarity with the people of Haiti at this time of enormous suffering and struggle for survival and recovery in their country. Both organisations call on their members to take concrete measures to support the many actions aimed at assisting the people of Haiti to deal with this humanitarian disaster. Enormous efforts are needed for Haiti while ensuring that financial support and resources needed for other parts of the globe facing humanitarian crisis are not diminished. EAPN and Dignity International commit to continue their efforts to achieve a world where resources are shared more equally, which would be a world where all countries would be better placed to deal with 'natural' disasters.
