PROJECT C.U.R.E. is working together with the U.S. Military Southern Command, Catholic Relief Services, Partners in Health, and other humanitarian organizations onsite in Haiti to deliver desperately needed medical relief to quake survivors in Haiti. By Jan. 31, the organization will have delivered at least six loads to Haiti. The value of materials delivered currently exceeds $1 million.

1. The first Haiti load left PROJECT C.U.R.E. Nashville on Friday, Jan. 15, on its way to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where it was shuttled to the U.S.S. Comfort and transported to onsite medical aid groups in Haiti. This load was sponsored by Newmont Mining Corporation.
2. The second load of PROJECT C.U.R.E. medical relief left Denver via American Airlines on Monday, Jan. 18, from which it was flown to Miami and transferred to Catholic Relief Services for the organization’s workers in Haiti. This load was sponsored by MillerCoors.
3. A third load left Denver via American Airlines on Monday, Jan. 18. Materials were received and distributed by the U.S. Military’s Southern Command to various aid organizations.
4. A fourth contingent of supplies traveled from PROJECT C.U.R.E.’s distribution center in Nashville to Norfolk, Va., where it was joined with the U.S.S. Sacagawea (a dry cargo ship) to be distributed by the U.S. Southern Command to various aid organizations.
5. Leaving Phoenix on Jan. 26 is a load destined for Opa-locka, Fla., from which a private charter will transport it to Port-au-Prince on Jan. 30, to be distributed to Partners in Health (PIH). PIH is operating the large Hôpital de l'Université d'état d'Haiti (HUEH), or University Hospital, in the capitol city.
6. PROJECT C.U.R.E. is currently preparing a sixth load, comprised of first aid and hygiene supplies donated by community members, to leave Denver on Wednesday, Jan. 27 en route to Miami, then to Haiti for the U.S. Southern Command to distribute.

In addition to dispatching aid as described above, PROJECT C.U.R.E. will continue to work with various governmental, nonprofit, and business partners to deliver additional loads of medical relief supplies to Haitians in this urgent time of need and for many years to come. 

PROJECT C.U.R.E.’s efforts to deliver assistance to Haiti for earthquake relief would not be possible without the support of hundreds of individuals, companies, and organizations who have donated time, supplies, and money. PROJECT C.U.R.E. thanks all of these people for their contributions.

Each “load” represents 800-900 cartons (boxes) of goods. The monetary value of the loads varies.
