This week Dave "Phoenix" Farrell traveled to Haiti with Music for Relief and the United Nations Foundation to see firsthand how funds raised through Download to Donate are helping Haiti rebuild. While in Haiti, Phoenix met with UN staff and Haitians to learn how solar street lights are protecting women and children from violence at night in the camps.

Over the past months, 200 cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and durable LED streetlights have been installed by the UN's Population Fund with the guidance of Haitian women. The lamps, provided with support from the UN Foundation, Music for Relief, and USAID, are already leading to a reduction of violent incidents, but there is still the need for more lights throughout the camps.
