Transitional Shelter


GOAL's transitional shelter programme in Haiti is now complete. It formed part of our crisis recovery efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake of January 12th, 2010.
As part of this programme, we constructed 2,000 transitional shelters for 2,000 households left homeless (circa 10,000 people) in Port-au-Prince and Gressier.
 
These new homes are being occupied by some of those who were left homeless by the devastating quake, providing them with suitable protection from storms, rain and floods that regularly batter the region.

We also engaged in the construction of 10 child-friendly structures to be used as temporary schools and community centres.

Since 1977, GOAL has spent in excess of €720 million delivering aid to some of the most vulnerable people in the developing world. We have achieved all this on an exceptionally low administration cost base.
