Project Description

On January 12 2010 a massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale rocked Port-au-Prince the capital of the impoverished Caribbean nation of Haiti. It is estimated that up to 3 000 000 people have been affected by the disaster either through injury or through loss of access to life-sustaining necessities such as food water sanitation services and shelter. With CIDA support CARE Canada is helping to provide emergency supplies such as safe water hygiene kits basic shelter and non-food items (e.g. jerry cans) to earthquake-affected people in Haiti.
