A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, on Tuesday, January 12. Our partner AMURT Haiti has started with the second phase of the relief operation, trauma recovery and reconstruction.
The main project at the moment are Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) which provide a safe environment for children to regain confidence and overcome trauma.
The Foundation is collecting funds for the Haiti disaster relief operations

Earthquake in Haiti - URGENT
Donate a Motorcycle to Africa
This program sponsors a motorcycle to a health/social worker in West Africa, either Ghana or Burkina Faso.
As per June 2010, two motorcycles have been donated. One to the Mafi-Zongo project in Ghana and the other one to Burkina Faso.
Motorcycles are a very useful means of transportation for the health/social workers in that area of Africa and we are continuing to request funds for this program.
Projects - Matching Fund
Foundation Emanuele Antola will match up to USD 1,000 donated to any of the projects featured on its web site.
That means if you donate USD 1,000 to a project we will give another USD 1,000 for a total of USD 2,000.
We have a number of projects at the moment, just browse our pages.

Update (April 2009): the
Foundation has wired US$1,000 to the project. The rest of the funds
were secured through other funding agencies. Thanks to all those who
contributed.
This is a request for $2,100 to expand the reading project in Barlovento to a school in a neighboring village. This amount covers a small salary for a facilitator and the rest is for material such as books, paper, paint etc.
Below is the message from the Project Director:
The story reading program: On a regular base the Center lends children’s books to the parents of La Guairita and Madre Vieja to read to their young children. The purpose is to stimulate reading and writing, teach values and to create positive attention activities between parents and their children
Finances are needed for good parenting workshops for the parents, to buy good children story books and other related materials and to pay a full time intern to expand to other villages.
