Aid

While Haiti is not a spot for cruising right now with the entire country in crisis and no public services, there are a number of cruisers helping with aid:

• International Rescue Group (IRG) and their 97ft sailboat “Zeepaard” bring donated supplies to Ile a Vache. The boat carries much-needed medical supplies, used sails, a full marine mechanic workshop of tools, a genset with welding features, food, clothes, fishing items and much more. Details at www.internationalrescuegroup.org.
• Hopefleet and Kingsfleet have provided a ton of rice, thousands of dollars in specially approved seeds for gardens and 200 Cholera kits.
• Sail Aid International have been visiting Ile a Vache twice a year since 2010 with humanitarian aid cargo and solar panels. They also install solar panels and solar well pumps. Details here.
