Tackling Energy Poverty

HELP HAITI - DESPERATE NEED FOR OUR RADIOS

An estimated two million Haitians are homeless and need access to trusted information. The U.S. military made a start by supplying radios, a vital tool in emergencies, but thousands more are required. Radio broadcasts inform where to receive water, food and medical assistance; where to find shelter; displaced people can find loved ones. People feel safer and more secure when they are informed. Our Ambassador, Tom Hanks, joins us in asking you to help us get our solar-powered and wind-up radios to the Haitian people for the days and months ahead. Please donate now and help us to help the people of Haiti!
