Haiti

Thanks to your generosity, two years after the devastating earthquake struck Haiti, Habitat for Humanity (HFH) has helped more than 40,000 families as part of our recovery programme.

Watch VideoOur earthquake recovery programme has:

  • Distributed 24,500 emergency shelter kits
  • Carried out 350 home repairs
  • Built 150 permanent homes
  • Provided transitional and upgradable shelter to 4,000 families.

We are also helping to build long-term economic growth and sustainability in Haiti:

  • More than 4,450 Haitians were trained in construction, construction business practices, financial literacy, health and hygiene.
  • Approximately 700 local job opportunities have been created by the recovery programme.

By 2015, we aim to help 50,000 families move from temporary to permanent housing. To do this we need your help.

Donate today so this crucial work can continue.

Habitat for Humanity Ireland is partnering with six other Irish NGOs to raise awareness of Haiti through music, art and the business community during Haiti Week (21st-28th January). As part of the celebrations, we will showcase our work in Haiti in the Irish Aid Centre O’Connell Street on Saturday 28th January between 10:30am-01:30pm. Photographs of Haiti provided by GOAL will be on display. We look forward to seeing you there.
