To increase the effectiveness of our emergency response, Christian Aid works with fellow members of an international network of faith-based agencies known as the ACT Alliance. Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, a German member of this alliance, organised the distribution of vital supplies to areas outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. They made sure that cities like Leogane and Jacmel that were initially neglected by international agencies got deliveries of much needed medical supplies, food and water.
