Amway aims to donate $100,000 in addition to the matched contributions of its employees to disaster relief for Haiti through its Web site amway.com.
The Michigan-based company says that its $100,000 donation will be divided between the American Red Cross and SOS Children's Village. "We are fully committed to offering assistance quickly and meaningfully," said Jim Hunking, director of managing for Amway operations in the Caribbean.
Although Amway hasn't established any offices in the island Nation, it does have a few hundred distributors and Independent Business Owners selling products through its Amway Global division. Amway reps say that they are currently in the process of checking on the welfare of its distributors.
"Our hearts go out to the victims, and we will be there to help Haiti recover from this tragedy and put the country back together.
