Operational Summary:
Plan International has been working in Haiti for over 36 years, with 163 staff currently on the ground. Since the disaster struck, thousands of tents, family kits, and vast amounts of food and water supplies have been delivered. Plan is implementing major water and sanitation projects, as well as cash-for-work programs to provide locals with income while they participate in the renewal of their own communities. Plan Haiti was recently asked by the Ministry of Education to help develop a program focused on psychosocial support for parents, teachers and students affected by the crisis. Plan International has committed $28 million to the response, of which nearly $1 million was received from American donors through Plan USA.
