(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) January 15, 2010 - On Tuesday January 12, the strongest earthquake in more than 200 years rocked the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The disaster is being described as "a catastrophe of major proportions".  The 7.0 magnitude earthquake has levelled inummerable buildings, thousands are feared dead and the danger of contaminated water and the outbreak of disease elevated. As a country already gripped by poverty, Haiti is believed to be ill-equipped to deal with such a disaster.

ammado has established the Haiti Earthquake Appeal to facilitate swift donations to five international non-profit organisations working in Haiti: the American Red Cross, Oxfam Ireland, Aktion Deutschland Hilft, Pompiers Sans Frontières and AGIRE Italian Relief Coalition. ammado provides a quick and easy means of pledging support to the victims of the tragedy in Haiti, collecting donations from around the world to funnel to those agencies on the ground during these vital moments.

Through the Haiti Earthquake Appeal on ammado, people can give as little a 4 euro or the equivalent in 32 currencies, using almost any international payment method.
