Bassin Zim Education & Development Fund, a non-profit organization that provides aid to disaster victims in Haiti as well as supporting long-term agricultural and environmental improvement, has established a special fund for earthquake relief. Their projects work with the Peasant Movement of Papaye (MPP) and other grassroots rural groups towards establishing food self-sufficiency to prevent famine. This work is especially critical following the unprecedented disaster.
