Haiti: three years after the quake

Haiti building project

Since the earthquake in January 2010, MCC Haiti has initiated more than 40 projects, working entirely with Haitian partner organizations. Initially many of these projects focused on providing food, shelter, relief kits and training on trauma recovery.

As the rebuilding continues, MCC and its partners are constructing new homes, repairing canals and roads, and providing support for higher education and small business development. In coming years projects will focus on improving building standards, water and sanitation, as well as developing future leaders among Haitian youth.

What can we do?

Pray

Please pray for those who continue to feel the trauma caused by the January 12, 2010, earthquake and for all those who are working to rebuild their livelihoods and homes.
