The Need

More than 1.1 million people are in need of shelter. Adequate shelter is vital to improving the health, safety and well-being of people who do not have a home to protect their family and their belongings. Families have organized tent cities and encampments on their own to survive. Luv for Haiti will help these new neighbors rebuild more permanent lives starting in Leogane Haiti.

This earthquake has drawn the world’s attention to a country that was already in desperate need.  Even before the quake, Haiti was the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. More than 80 percent of Haiti’s 9 million people lived on less than US$2 per day; 55 percent lived on less than US$1 per day.

Political instability, food shortages, tropical storms and hurricanes had prevented most Haitians from breaking free of the cruel cycle of poverty.

Luv for Haiti and our partners plan to help change that one day at time!
