Since the January 12 earthquake, CHF International has been working to partner with Haitian communities to help them recover from the devastating effects of the disaster and the challenges they face.
CHF, which has been undertaking one of the largest-funded infrastructure & employment programs in Haiti since 2006 will focus on recovery efforts within Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. We have around 250 staff in Haiti already, including infrastructure and construction experts. Our team is conducting an immediate assessment of the damage - neighborhood by neighborhood, assisting with rubble removal and setting up a communications hub on the lawn of our office for the NGO community.
CHF focusing on the needs of the people as they transition to long-term recovery - including the provision of transitional shelters, generating livelihoods through employing locals in clean up of community & reconstruction of buildings.
Our commitment to Haiti goes far beyond a response to immediate needs, to genuine redevelopment and long-term sustainable thinking. When headlines fade, we will still partner with the communities to help them direct theiir own development.
ALL socio-economic levels are affected – public/government, private (business, banks) schools, churches, homes, gas stations, supermarkets; rich, middle class, and poor have ALL been affected.
