Here are some ways you can get started helping right now, even if you’re not a programmer:
1. SIMPLE TASKS ANYONE CAN DO

2. Sahana Geo-Locate the Hospitals Challenge
The challenge is simple: we need volunteers to use the power of their minds and the internet to find the latitude and longitude of the remaining 100 hospitals listed on PAHO’s list. This will provide the relief effort with the best and most comprehensive data layer available on health facilities in the country.

3. OPENSTREETMAP PROJECT
Need local knowledge of Haiti.
In order to deliver aid to those in need, government and rescue workers need good maps. Before the earthquake, there weren’t any good maps of Haiti. With your help, we’re building great maps of Haiti and then identifying people in need on those maps.
Easy to follow introduction for OpenStreetMap volunteers:

4. USHAHIDI / 4636 PROJECT
We are especially interested in Haitian Creole speakers, but also French.
People in Haiti are able to send text messages (SMS) – urgent requests for help, locations, etc. – for free to the phone number ‘4636′. Ushahidi receives all these text messages and depending on the content we need to forward the information to different people/organizations.
We need volunteers to read each message and tell us about the content.
Volunteers can go to the site, view a text message sent by someone in Haiti, and fill out a form about the content. The majority of work so far has been by Haitian volunteers across the world.
