An estimated 200,000 homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and 1.2 million people are homeless or displaced, as a result of the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010.

Habitat for Humanity has worked in Haiti for 26 years and is aiding the recovery process by providing emergency shelter kits, helping with debris removal from home sites and providing transitional shelter, new home construction and home repairs. Habitat is increasing its program in Haiti to also help people learn construction skills, which provides on-the-job house construction training that creates additional employment opportunities for those in need of work.
