On an overcast and rainy May 25, CHF completed a payroll in Petit-Goave for 740 laborers in its ongoing cash-for-work program. Workers had spent the past two weeks demolishing crumbled buildings and removing rubble in support of the USAID-funded CLEARS program. At the payroll, CHF paid workers salaries totaling more than US$47,000, accounting for almost US$62 per person. In an area where many homeowners lost most of their belongings and are still digging out their property, CHF’s investment in Petit- Goave represents a valuable lifeline for this vulnerable community.
