FedEx helps Rise Against Hunger fight poor conditions in Haiti
Amid continuing instability in Haiti following the assassination of the Haitian President in 2021, availability of basic necessities and care have become bleak and uncertain. With help from FedEx, Rise Against Hunger sent multiple containers of medical aid and equipment, RAH meals, and hygiene supplies valued at more than 50 million to New Hope Hospital to help combat sickness and starvation. These shipments are essential for Haitians to recover quickly and return to productive, independent lives.
Dr. Maklin, at New Hope Hospital shared that “These accomplishments are only possible from the assistance from Rise Against Hunger. New Hope Hospital has a small budget and Rise Against Hunger provides medicines, supplies, and support for our work. For this we thank God every day.”
FedEx moved these shipments as a part of the company’s FedEx Cares “Delivering for Good” initiative, in which FedEx lends its global network and unparalleled logistics expertise to organizations with mission-critical needs and helps communities before, during and after crises.
