The Avon Foundation for Women has donated $1 million to Haiti Relief Efforts

“The generous and immediate response to the devastation in Haiti is a testament to the compassion in our world. With the Haitian people experiencing suffering on an incomprehensible scale, we must all continue our support. I am proud to join Avon in their efforts to mobilize resources to respond to this tragedy. We encourage everyone to do what they can to help address the critical needs of all those in Haiti who have survived this disaster.”
