OpinionWorld Members Help Haiti through Survey Sampling International’s New Charity Program
Survey Sampling International (SSI) is making it easy for its OpinionWorld community of online survey participants to take part in the Haiti earthquake relief effort. Each time they complete an online survey, participating OpinionWorld members can choose to support SSI's "Helping Haiti" campaign. On behalf of OpinionWorld members, the company has pledged to donate up to €15,000 to the International Federation of Red Cross to support children and families devastated by this horrific event.
More than 212,000 people were killed as a result of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake which struck the nation January 12. Another 300,000 people were injured and one million people were made homeless. More than 250,000 homes were destroyed and 30,000 businesses were lost.
"We share the world's concern for the victims of this tragedy," explained Kees de Jong, Chief Executive Officer of SSI. "We are pleased with the positive response from our OpinionWorld community members and their eagerness to join us in Helping Haiti. Through this campaign, we've already raised nearly €13,000. This is also an opportunity for all of us at SSI to help the people in Haiti. Employee donations are worth twice as much through SSI's Matching Charitable Contributions Program."
Charitable donations are an integral part of SSI's survey participant communities. Since 2001, SSI has donated more than US $1.6 million to 45 charities around the world on behalf of OpinionWorld and SurveySpot members.
