We have another update regarding the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from Heifer Haiti Field Technician Ludger Badette:
Heifer Haiti staff examined the damage in the Saut Mathurine area where houses were built/rebuilt in the wake of the 2010 earthquake. People in that area said the houses that resisted the damage from Hurricane Sandy were those built by Heifer International. During the hurricane, those who lived in houses that were destroyed or damaged took refuge in the houses built by Heifer. People there remain grateful for this project.
The building and repair of homes in Haiti were part of Heifer Haiti's From the Ground Up umbrella project that set out to rehabilitate the rural livelihoods of 12,000 families.
