The Open Society Institute stands in solidarity with the people of Haiti as the country struggles to recover from the devastating earthquake that struck on January 12, 2010.

Following the quake, the Open Society Institute's foundation in Haiti, FOKAL, immediately mobilized, with everyone doing whatever possible to help their community and country. The foundation's building, which miraculously is still standing, is serving as a safe haven for hundreds of the city's homeless. Each night more than 600 people sleep in FOKAL's backyard, fearing the tremors which continue to rattle Port-au-Prince.

On January 15, the Open Society Institute, guided by FOKAL, gave an initial grant of $4 million to support four organizations currently doing life-saving work on the ground: Medecins Sans Frontieres, Save the Children, CARE, and Catholic Relief Services.
