Jeans for Haiti

The earthquake that struck Haiti almost 2 weeks ago has devastated the world. Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas of the country have been demolished and the government believes that the death toll could rise to 300,000 people.

Here at indiDenim, we’ve taken the time to think about this humanitarian crisis and how jeans can help.  That’s why we’re proud to support the organization Fashion Delivers, which aims to bring together fashion industries to donate apparel to victims in need across the world. They were founded in 2006 and inspired to act after Hurricane Katrina struck.

Right now, Fashion Delivers is organizing efforts to send apparel and products to Haitians who have been affected by the earthquake and have lost everything. To help, they are calling for a broad assortment of clothing items—jeans included.

If you too would like to support Fashion Delivers and the people of Haiti, please visit their website and fill out the donation form listed at the bottom or the page. Haiti needs our help today and many days to come.

It is so great that you are helping the people in Haiti. I am just wondering if anyone has checked to confirm that people in Haiti wear jeans? Isn’t it a tropical climate? I would think lightweight cotton would be the fabric of choice for clothing. It is not like United States where if you live in a warm climate you can still wear jeans comfortably because you usually are going from an air conditioned car to an air conditioned building. Good Luck with your project.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your concern! Haitians do wear jeans. The temperatures in Port-au-Prince range from 75 degrees to 95 degrees throughout the year. Right now, we’re in the “colder” part of the year, so I’m sure long pants will be appreciated.

Take care,
Danielle
