Haiti: Didine realises her music dream

Didine, a Plan sponsored child, was 14 years old when the powerful earthquake hit Haiti 3 years ago.

For 35 long seconds, she thought the world was collapsing around her – along with her dream of becoming a violinist.

It took months for her to begin reconnecting to one of her most precious dreams – music – which has helped her regain faith in life.

The disaster was a turning point for Didine. "I saw my life scroll before me," she says.

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.

Much progress in Haiti 3 years after the earthquake

Plan has announced that it is shifting the focus of its work in Haiti to a recovering and rebuilding mode after a prolonged period of emergency response. 

The 2010 earthquake killed more than 300,000 people and was followed by political unrest, storms, floods and a major cholera epidemic. 

“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,” said Chief Executive Officer of the UK-based Plan International, Nigel Chapman.

Oversvømmelser i Haiti

Hundredvis af børn og deres familier er flygtet fra deres hjem og ejendele i Haiti. Det skyldes oversvømmelser, der kom i hælene på den voldsomme orkan ”Sandy”, som hærgede den amerikanske østkyst for to uger siden.

Haiti frygter nu mangel på mad og vand, mens kolerainfektioner og dårlig hygiejne truer landet. Plan er til stede i de berørte områder og har uddelt hygiejnesæt, maddresser og tæpper til de fordrevne familier. Vi er ligeledes til stede i krisecentrene, hvor vi sørger for psykologisk støtte til børnene.

Voldsomme oversvømmelser i Haiti

Mere end 14.300 børn og familier er blevet evakueret i Haiti. Det sker, efter den tropiske storm Isaac natten til lørdag ramte landet og forvoldte alvorlige oversvømmelser.

400.000 mennesker bor stadig i midlertidige lejre efter det altødelæggende jordskælv i 2010. Det er disse mennesker, som de nuværende oversvømmelser går værst ud over.

Plan sætter ind med livsreddende tiltag til de ramte familier. Igen er børnene de mest udsatte. Vi sørger for rent vand, mad og beskyttelse. Samtidig ansætter vi specialister, der kan vurdere børnenes behov efter den massive storm.

Haiti: 2 år efter

To år efter det ødelæggende jordskælv i Haiti, får tusindvis af børn og deres familier stadig pleje og støtte fra Plan. Takket være den altafgørende støtte fra vores donorer.
