Significant progress has been made in reconstructing the country; nevertheless, it remains too close to a state of emergency and not close enough to the stability needed for a future that offers opportunities.
From day one, SOS Children’s Villages has helped address many diverse problems caused by the magnitude-7.0 earthquake; the epicentre of which was in the Haitian capital Port-au Prince.
The SOS Children's Villages Emergency Programme was promptly followed up in 2011 by a comprehensive rehabilitation programme that involved the construction of new schools and the provision of long-term social programmes for children and families.
