CHF continues to work at emergency response, lending our facilities, equipment and logistics to assist in the relief operations. In Petit Goave we are working closely with Swiss organization Medecins du Monde Suisse. Kits arrived for 1000 families that include shelters, kitchen sets, mosquito nets, jerry cans, and four large tents for emergency hospital rooms, which are set to be distributed.
We are continuing to prepare for the forthcoming weeks – and months - as we focus on transitional shelter and employing Haitian communities in the clean up of their neighborhoods. Part of this has involved surveying our existing infrastructure projects – over 100 across Haiti – that we have completed since 2006. We are glad to say that minimal damage has been sustained to our existing projects, which gives us the confidence to go ahead using construction techniques that have been truly tried and tested.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
