Catholic Relief Services provides relief and development assistance to the poor and marginalized in more than 100 countries. CRS has been working in Haiti since 1954. In response to the January 12, 2010 earthquake, CRS and partners developed a comprehensive program to support recovery in earthquake-affected areas. CRS’ Community Resettlement and Recovery Program (CRRP) aims to assist up to 25,000 households affected by the earthquake to resettle and reestablish their lives in their communities of origin. The program is implemented in the urban communities of Carrefour, Solino, Christ Roi, Pétionville, and Mais Gate in the greater Port-au-Prince metropolis. In 02/2013 CRS started a new initiative in Martissant Grand Ravine in collaboration with another internal NGO, Concern Worldwide. The objective of this initiative is to facilitate the resettlement of 2010 displaced and vulnerable households through improving access to housing, livelihoods, and WASH facilities. CRS will especially be responsible for building houses, market places and waste collection points, as well as rehabilitating the ravine and roads.
