Haiti

Introducing some of our team in Haiti

I have just spent the day visiting Concern’s emergency team in the poorest areas of Port-au-Prince. It was a long, hot day – but it was a great day.

“This is the spirit that will rebuild Haiti"

In Haiti, we know that distributions are only part of the answer. In our focus group discussions, women made it clear: jobs are a priority and work is seen as freedom.

One month on

It is now one month since a massive earthquake struck Haiti. Concern’s team has been working with long-established local organisations to get aid to those that need it most.

What your support is achieving
