When the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, approximately 220,000 people lost their lives, and millions lost their homes. With more than 800 local staff, 30 years of experience in Haiti, and disaster-relief supplies already in place, World Vision was able to provide help quickly. Over the last five years, the focus has shifted to reconstruction and long-term development.
