Haiti Recovery
It's been over six months now since a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the impoverished island nation of Haiti, exacting a huge toll in lives and property damage. Millions of people were affected, and nearly 1.5 million people were left displaced or homeless. With 26 years experience working in Haiti, Habitat for Humanity was uniquely placed to offer their expertise and assistance on the ground. Habitat's response in HaitiHabitat implemented immediate relief efforts while also seeking to address long-term shelter solutions. Based on current information and past experience with international disasters, Habitat developed a multi-phrase strategy of response, focused on six cities, Cabaret, Lèogâne, Jacmel, Carrefour, Port-au-Prince and Croix-des-Bouquets.
