Money is what Haiti needs the most now, former U.S. President Bill Clinton wrote in a Washington Post editorial. Donations, he said, are required to provide water, food, shelter and basic medical supplies for those who were rendered homeless, hungry and hurt by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, most likely totaling 3 million.
Clinton, who was appointed as United Nations special envoy for Haiti in June 2009, seeks the help of governments, businesses and private citizens to help rebuild the impoverished from the disaster.
"As we clear the rubble, we will create better tomorrows by building Haiti back better: with stronger buildings, better schools and health care; with more manufacturing and less deforestation; with more sustainable agriculture and clean energy," he said.
