At the January kick off, we were all touched by the story that Chris Price shared about Roseanne, a remarkable woman in Haiti who took enormous personal risk to help her community gain access to desperately needed medical supplies.
We all now know the horrific devastation that Haiti suffered from the January 12 earthquake. As Roseanne and the millions of other Haitians come to grips with the aftermath and rebuild their nation, they know it will be a long struggle.
World Neighbors has worked in Haiti uninterrupted since 1966. Much of its work focuses on gwoupmons, village development committees that address the people's urgent needs. Women are often at the center of these groups and among the most dynamic gwoupmon leaders.
These groups will be an important to the ongoing recovery. You can learn more here about World Neighbors response to the Haiti earthquake
