Understanding the physical and emotional toll that natural and manmade disasters can have on the health and well-being of communities across the globe, the IMHO Canada is committed to supporting relief efforts in times of emergency wherever the need is greatest. The organization intends to support local organizations in the disaster-affected countries that are involved in various relief efforts with the disbursement of basic supplies, including food, clothing, cooking utensils, water purification & delivery systems, and more, in addition to medicines and much needed health supplies and support for local health & relief workers. To-date, the IMHO Canada has helped respond to the humanitarian crisis that has affected Northern Sri Lanka, especially as the war came to a violent end in 2009. Additionally, IMHO Canada provided support to the Canadian branch of Medecins Sans Frontiers, also known as Doctors Without Borders, to support their medical relief effort in response to the devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti that hit just outside of the capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. The already impoverished Caribbean nation (officially the poorest country in the western hemisphere) caused mass destruction and suffering, triggering the collapse of thousands of buildings and driving the nation deeper into poverty and hardship. The earthquake left hundreds of thousands dead and millions homeless & displaced. The health and medical needs of the survivors have been vast and dire, and the challenge of rebuilding is proving to be an incredibly daunting task. |
