Like others, the Dell team was horrified by the devastation and the suffering of those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Dell people have always been counted on to recognize needs of others and respond quickly and practically, in this case with implications for saving lives

A corporate cash donation of $500,000 from Dell will be evenly split between the critical work of UNICEF and the International Red Cross to ensure that the money goes toward crucial aid efforts. Like people around the world, many of our team members are making personal financial contributions, so we've made it simple for them to donate and are matching those employee donations up to a total of $250,000. In addition, Dell people are volunteering for organized efforts within their communities.

The devastation also includes widespread damage to the infrastructure of Haitian government, businesses and public institutions. In response, our teams are reaching out directly to customers and partners with operations in the country to help assess the impact, offer assistance and prioritize our response to vital information technology needs.

"We are monitoring the situation and staying in touch with relief and other organizations to see how we can help further. On behalf of the Dell team worldwide, I encourage you to consider how you might make a difference personally by learning more about requirements and relief at the UNICEF and International Red Cross sites," said Gil Casellas, vice president of corporate responsibility for Dell.

As more than a million visitors click on www.dell.com daily, Dell has made it easy for customers to be a part of the relief effort by creating a special link that offers them opportunities to make a difference.
