Haiti: Long-term reconstruction after the earthquake

Habitat for Humanity is assessing the impact on affordable housing and response options in Haiti after a major earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. Early media reports estimate that 3 million people were affected. Now Habitat realises a long-term reconstruction plan. Initially it collected money to buy materials for cleaning up the streets and include the people in a „Cash for Work“ – Programme, besides Habitat offers transitional housing services.
