Help Connect Haitian Diaspora to PersonFinder

Where are Haitians in the diaspora going for information? How can we connect to them in both digital and non-digital ways to ensure that everyone knows about the Missing Persons Index?

Haiti Earthquake 2010

We want to make sure all Haitians outside Haiti know that they can look for lost friends/family on PersonFinder and report incidents on 4636/Ushahidi. We are learning many Haitians still do not know about these resources.

Please share on this Google doc any places to publicize to Haitians outside Haiti:

  • Churches
  • Newspapers
  • Radio stations
  • Facebook groups
  • Online communities
  • Etc…

After we have this list together, a volunteer will outreach to these groups or we may contact you again for some help.

Thank you!
