One Year Report
One year ago today millions of lives were devastated by the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. While the real numbers may never be known, the Haitian Government estimates that 230,000 people have died, 300,000 others were injured and more than 1.3 million were left homeless.
Now that the emergency phase is over, cbm is focusing its programming efforts in five core areas: health care, inclusive education and child protection, advocacy and accessibility, community based rehabilitation and disaster preparedness. It is our dream, one shared by our partners, that as Haiti rebuilds it will be transformed into a barrier-free and inclusive society where persons wtih disabilities have equal rights and opportunities and are empowered to actively participate in the sustainable development of their communities. Click here to read cbm's one year report on rebuilding the lives of the people of Haiti. If you have a specific question about Haiti or cbm's work there, it may be on our Haiti FAQs. Watch the video below recapping the events to date on the situation in Haiti - the challenges, issues and circumstances of millions of people devastated by the earthquake. |
