This project aims to sustainably rehabilitate the rural mountainous area of Gressier which was hard hit by the January 12 2010 earthquake by carrying out the reconstruction of 400 permanent earthquake and hurricane resistant houses as well as complementary infrastructure (latrines and structures to capture rainwater).
