Haiti Earthquake 2010
CRWRC has worked in Haiti for more than 30 years.
In response to the January 12 earthquake which took an estimated 200,000 lives and rendered more than million homeless, CRWRC provided immediate emergency aid in the form of food, water, and tarps. Today, the effort continues through a long-term recovery & rehabilitation process that includes transitional shelter, permanent core homes, latrines, and wells.
Watch the short video below and read the six month update to get a glimpse of what was accomplished during the first six months.
