Building homes and hope in Haiti: Two years into the recovery

 


To date, Habitat has helped more than 40,000 families in Haiti.

   
 


More than 500,000 survivors remain homeless.

   


On Jan. 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

The devastation:

  • More than two million people were affected.
  • Nearly 190,000 houses were damaged; of those, 105,000 were completely destroyed.
  • More than 500,000 survivors remain homeless ― a population as large as Oslo, Norway; Panama City, Panama; or Las Vegas, Nevada.

Habitat’s five year goal:
Help 50,000 families move toward safe, secure and permanent places to call home.

Two years after the earthquake, Habitat has helped more than 40,000 families in Haiti.
