Activities

RedR is developing Haiti's capacity to respond to and recover from the January earthquake by training Haitians in humanitarian standards, emergency logistics, staff security, water, sanitation, hygiene and managing people and projects in emergencies.

Latest Update from the Field

1,000+ Relief Workers Trained through Your Support

By Suzanne Craig - Trust and Corporate Fundraising Manager, October 25, 2010 12:47 PM

Over the course of our programme, and through the generous support of our donors, we have trained over 1,000 relief workers across key humanitarian areas such as water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter, supply chain and fleet management, safety and security, and telecommunications. 91 percent of the people trained have been national Haitian humanitarian personnel, providing a strong skills base within the country, increasing local involvement in the relief and recovery process and ensuring that skills remain in country long after the media attention has faded.

We are now winding down our training operations in Haiti.  RedR would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to our Emergency Appeal; your donations have made an invaluable difference to rebuilding the lives and livelihoods of the people of Haiti. 

There will remain a strong legacy of our time in Haiti. The skills taught will continue to have impact on the ongoing relief operation for months, even years to come. RedR Members will continue to work in the region, sharing their experience and  our technical support service remains available to all field workers. 

For a our full Haiti report and for further information about RedR's activities please visit our website: www.redr.org.uk

Thank you for what you have helped us do for the Haitian community.
