Caritas Malta has collected €270,391 in aid of Haiti earthquake victims, the second-largest sum ever collected by the Catholic humanitarian organisation.
Its fundraising campaign was initiated on January 14, 2 days after a devastating earthquake killed over 200,000 people and left around 1 million people homeless in and around Haitian capital Port-au-Prince
The collection was made with the approval of Malta Archbishop Paul Cremona and Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, who appealed for people’s generosity.
The donations will be transferred to Caritas Internationalis, the international confederation which Caritas Malta forms part of, and will be used to assist in its Haiti mission.
