What

The Junior Chamber International Dublin (JCI Dublin) is launching its “GIVE 100% Project” in aid of UNICEF Ireland’s ongoing work for the children of Haiti.

The project will be launched on June 1st 2010, International Children’s Day and will run throughout the second half of the year with the aim of raising €20,000.

The project aims to attract both companies as well as individuals with the simple ask of donating their lunch money to UNICEF for one day.

How

Donating is simple and all raised money will be donated 100% to Haiti Appeal Unicef fund. No administration charges will apply in contrast to many other non-for-profit organizations. If you are an employee in any size company and would like to get your co-workers involved, all you need to do is introduce the GIVE 100% campaign to your company through letters and posters which JCI Dublin will provide and encourage employees to donate their lunch money on one specific day.

ABOUT HAITI

The Current Situation

"A full generation of Haitian children still face an uncertain future" (Aaron Downes, Corporate Relationship Manager at UNICEF Ireland.

The earthquake that devastated Haiti on the 12th January 2010 killed over 220,000 people, injuring over 300,000 and causing up to 4,000 amputations. Three million people, or 30 per cent of the population, have been affected; almost 1.3 million are living in temporary shelters in over 400 spontaneous sites in the Port-au-Prince area, while more than 600,000 have moved to outlying areas, including some 300,000 children.

Already before the earthquake, Haiti’s children were up against unfavorable indicators: one in every 13 infant died before the age of five; over 30 per cent of Haitians under the age of five were chronically undernourished; 55 per cent of school-aged children were out of school; 50,000 were in some 600 residential care facilities; an estimated 2,000 girls and boys were trafficked across borders annually.

The children of Haiti need our continued support to help rebuild their future.
