FOOD FOR THE POOR REACHES OUT TO HAITI - Highlights of FFP in Haiti - July 8, 2015

Kingston, Jamaica – July 6, 2015: Food For The Poor (FFP), the international charity organisation which started in Jamaica, is currently offering aid to needy persons in Haiti who have recently crossed over from the Dominican Republic where they had been living.

These persons, expelled from the Dominican Republic on the basis that they are not legal residents or citizens, though some were born there, have been streaming into Haiti, most of them in desperate need. FFP has responded to the urgent request for help for these individuals and families.

Aid is now being distributed through FFP Haiti warehouses in Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien.

Below are photographs with highlights of FFP's contribution so far.
