It\u2019s because of this work on the ground and relationships with the LWF and partner organizations like Action by Churches Together (ACT) that the ELCA is able to take your gifts and translate them quickly into food, water, clothing and shelter for people who need it now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Gifts to ELCA World Hunger and ELCA Disaster Response are providing water. A water purification system with pipes, filters and pumps transported from freezing-cold Norway to scorching-hot Haiti is providing 10,000 homeless Haitians with clean drinking water. The ACT Alliance brought in desperately needed special water and sanitation facilities. The \u201cwater factory\u201d is based in the Belair neighborhood of Port-au-Prince and provided the first clean water many people had access to after the earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>Long before the spotlights cast themselves on the poorest country in the Western hemisphere and long after they will have faded, the ELCA has worked, is working, and will continue to work on the ground in Haiti for justice and stability.<\/p>\n<p>The ELCA is present in many countries throughout the world, working through companion churches and with international partner organizations to provide the daily relief and development work that can, in a moment\u2019s notice, support a readied infrastructure of support when disaster strikes already poverty-filled areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Aaron Cooper is writer-editor for ELCA World Hunger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disaster strikes.\u00a0 Then what?\u00a0 Pray, donate money, help people.\u00a0 Do what you can as you follow the story in the media.\u00a0 Haiti.\u00a0 Chile.\u00a0 Malawi.\u00a0 Name the disaster of the month as we approach hurricane season and are called to respond at a moment\u2019s notice when our brothers and sisters are in need, usually around the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":211,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-post"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hunger Network Supports Brothers and Sisters in Haiti, Other Countries during Disasters - ELCA World Hunger<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/worldhunger\/hunger-network-supports-brothers-and-sisters-in-haiti-other-countries-during-disasters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hunger Network Supports Brothers and Sisters in Haiti, Other Countries during Disasters - ELCA World Hunger\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Disaster strikes.\u00a0 Then what?\u00a0 Pray, donate money, help people.\u00a0 Do what you can as you follow the story in the media.\u00a0 Haiti.\u00a0 Chile.\u00a0 Malawi.\u00a0 Name the disaster of the month as we approach hurricane season and are called to respond at a moment\u2019s notice when our brothers and sisters are in need, usually around the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/worldhunger\/hunger-network-supports-brothers-and-sisters-in-haiti-other-countries-during-disasters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ELCA World Hunger\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-05-15T22:00:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-12-03T20:57:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/worldhunger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2010\/05\/PJeffrey-girl-in-Haiti-water-200-x-141-jpg2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"141\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ryan P.
