MAGNA was founded not only to provide assistance in disasters and conflicts, but also to talk about what we see. We believe that silence can kill. We hope that by revealing injustice we can help put an end to it.
We are where we are most needed. We have more than 500 workers in the field saving children's lives in areas of major humanitarian disasters such as Congo, Syria and South Sudan. Find out more about our work in the countries where we operate.
Haiti
A magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, in January 2010. As a result, more than 300,000 people died and 1.5 million people lost their homes.
Total population: 10.85 million
Haiti was the first country in the Caribbean to gain independence, back in 1804. To this day, the island continues to face political violence and numerous natural disasters.
MAGNA concluded all its post-earthquake activities in Haiti in 2013.
The healthcare system in Haiti is unable to meet some medical needs, such as treatment for trauma and maternal healthcare. Political instability, conflicts, and natural disasters have led Haiti to become the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
In January 2013, we concluded all activities put in place to support those affected by the earthquake.
Our teams distributed material aid, conducted trauma surgery, and provided psychosocial assistance to people in camps and HIV/AIDS patients. We built and equipped hospitals focused on mother-and-child care.
