Looking to the long-term in Haiti

Three years after the 2010 earthquake, Haiti has turned a corner and Plan is shifting the focus of its work to long-term development. “The road to recovery will be a long one but Plan is here for the long haul. We must ensure the country is not forgotten and we will do all possible to continue to help the people of Haiti recover and rebuild,”explains Chief Executive Officer of Plan International, Nigel Chapman.

During the past three years Plan has helped more than 31,000 children return to school; built 257 classrooms which are earthquake and hurricane-resistant; provided psychosocial support to more than 12,000 children, provided cash-for-work for more than 36,000 people; provided houses for 100 women with young children, who lost their husbands in the earthquake; and reached more than 400,000 people in our emergency cholera response work.
