The Pan American Development Foundation’s strategy of working with community organizations, the Haitian government and the private sector to build their capacity will continue to be the key to success.
PADF’s plan of action is based on the three "Rs":
Rebuilding neighborhoods
Despite all the goodwill and initial energy, too many neighborhoods are still in ruins. We are gathering resources and mobilizing teams to continue the tough task of transforming these damaged and destroyed neighborhoods into livable communities.
Returning people to safe homes
Assessing homes was only the first step in our work plan. Now we are letting people know which homes are safe, what repairs are needed and how to do them. We are also trying to raise money to repair more homes. All this translates into getting people out of the displacement camps and into safe homes.
Restoring livelihoods
Haitians are hardworking and want to support their families. PADF works with communities to help them determine their economic needs and then channels resources to create these opportunities. This ensures sustainability and job growth in the most heavily impacted areas.
