REZO, which means Network in Haitian Creole, is a professional network of builders who are certified in disaster-resistant design and construction.
We want 100% of the builders we work with in Haiti to have the support they need to properly and consistently apply their training to construct safe, earthquake-resistant homes. Through REZO, we connect builders to incentives that will help them apply their training and develop their business, including job placement, apprenticeships, nationally-recognized certification, access to low interest loans, discounts on construction materials, and refresher courses. We plan to scale this program to other country operations.
REZO attended MATCON recently as an opportunity to spread awareness of this new network.
Forming partnerships and creating a new network of this type is a long-term process, and the local impact will be permanent. Thank you for your support as we build this program in Haiti.
