Architecture For Humanity - Haiti

AFH - Year In Review - Article

Remarkably more than a year has passed since the devastating earthquake in Haiti struck. As history shows part of the devastation is instantaneous, but the real epidemic is in the recovery. By no means is the success, hard work and generosity being overlooked, but Haiti is far from where it needs to be today.

Majority of the community still seeks refuge in converted shelters and temporary living environments. Now significant signs of disease and plague are taking its toll on the Haitians. Over 300+ deaths have been recorded due to Cholera alone.

We can’t allow OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND to be a factor in these moments. If this occurred in the United States, if this was our families impacted and if it was our responsibility to respond, I guarantee the outcome would not be the same. Humanity should suffer as one, regardless of geography, race or economic status.

Please help! Please respond! Please get involved! Please do something!
