The massive earthquake that rocked central China on Monday has left thousands dead, and the full scope of the disaster is not yet clear. GlobalGiving is partnering with Half the Sky, which is working in affected areas to help the thousands of children who have been affected, particularly those in welfare institutions, and Mercy Corps, which is working with a local group to provide emergency support and assistance.

Both organizations have been through GlobalGiving's rigorous due diligence process and have committed to providing donors with regular updates.
