Haiti Earthquake Relief
•Lions established three tent cities to provide shelter to 2,500 people. Now Lions are helping rebuild vital infrastructure.
•Provisional homes for 600 Haitian families are moving into new, temporary homes thanks to an initiative between LCIF, the Lions of MD111 Germany and HELP, an international non-governmental organization. Homes include clean water, sanitation facilities and furniture. The families moving into the homes are those who were initially sheltered in Lions tent cities. LCIF is provided US$1.4 million for this project. Through the project, transitional homes will be erected directly on a family's plot of land, thus avoiding the hardship of further displacement.
•Helping to rebuild the National Nurses School of Port au Prince. The school was completely destroyed in the earthquake and more than 100 students and teachers were killed. Even before the earthquake, there was a shortage of trained healthcare professionals, especially nurses, in the country and the school was completely destroyed. LCIF will provide US$368,421 or 27 percent of the total project cost of US$1,363,562 and to be used to fund construction and equipment expenses. The project is in partnership with HumaniTerra International (HTI), a non-governmental organization devoted to surgery. The building will be constructed of prefabricated containers which are durable, storm and earthquake resistant, and will allow for a short construction time.
