Hey!

To give some context, all of the families we have funded (and about 80,000 Haitians) have remained homeless SINCE the earthquake in 2010. We cannot say with certainty the length of time it would take to find alternative housing, but their options are clearly scant to non-existent.

The situation for most families = thin tarp tents without access to basic sanitation. The heat is described as unbearable and blinding (literally) by our recipients and other dangers like rape, theft, and disease outbreak are rampant. Our concrete homes = safety, privacy, sanitation, and an environment that supports prosperity. We believe shelter is a human right and a critical component to poverty alleviation efforts.
