The international aid organization Habitat for Humanity is actively engaged in an emergency aid program and reconstruction program for the worst earthquake in recent history that recently struck Haiti.

Since 1992 Habitat for Humanity is engaged in disaster response. After the Tsunami (2004) Habitat for Humanity helped over 23.000 families to get adequate shelter.

Hundreds of thousands of people were affected in Haiti by this severe earthquake of magnitude 7.0 and the subsequent humanitarian catastrophe. Habitat for Humanity does cleanup and construction of temporary shelters. The next step is to provide durable shelters for the victims - the so called core houses.

Habitat for Humanity has spent the last 26 years working in Haiti and therefore is in a position to use its local office to provide immediate relief supplies and later to help coordinate the long-term reconstruction process. The number of casualties and the massive destruction in the densely populated areas of Port-au-Prince is not yet clearly estimated.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, where 55% of the population survive on less than $ 1 per day
