Oxfam had been working in Haiti for 32 years when the quake struck. For the past six months, our programs have scaled up to provide water and sanitation, public health education, and ensuring people have access to food and basic needs through cash-for-work and cash grants programs. We are currently helping over 440,000 people through our relief and recovery programs. That accounts for over 20 percent of the earthquake-affected population of 2 million people. Our staff has grown from less than 100 people before January 12th to around 700, of which over 80 percent are Haitians. Oxfam had been working in Haiti for 32 years when the quake struck.
