Most people in Kuwait will not have Google Checkout. Many have Paypal though.

(Paypal is waiving all transactions fees if donated via the above organization).
Be careful. There are lots of scam sites setup in the wake of the earthquake.
You can also go directly to Red Cross and donate there.

great job..
Kuwaiti red cresent is accepting donations for helping the ppl at Haiti..might as well just donate to them!
Thank you.
FYI to all: There seems to be no truth to the news going around about UPS free shipping of items under 50 lbs to Haiti. Hopefully all the clothing and canned food items dropped off to UNICEF and Red Cross (as mentioned in the ‘hoax’) will still find their way to all those suffering in Haiti.
PS why can’t Zain and Wataniya make it easy for us to donate via text message like the phone companies have done in the US. They have raised a lot of money (100 % of those texted funds are donated, apparently).
@Beachgalg8q: What’s a text message when you have BBM? haha Excuse my sarcasm, but yeah your idea’s good!
Good point, Huss! Maybe some1 can establish an exclusive BBM number for donations? But I think the potential for scams would be high. Oh yea…I forgot to mention Viva. Oops!
amazon has also setup a donation service on the website. go to amazon.com and it on the top right hand corner “MercyCorps”
These poor people as if life wasn’t tough enough for them..
Yeah , its a lot easier if Zain,Wataniya or Viva did what Beachgalq8 said .
Omg , i read in a Newspaper that Haiti needs nearly 500 billion $ to get back just like what it was.
