Charity aims to build haven for Haiti’s survivors

VISITING the slum of lower Raboto, the first thing that hits western senses is the smell. It is hard to imagine that any human could live here. Yet thousands do and pay rent for the privilege.

One of the poorest areas in what is already an extremely poor country, even Haitians are shocked by the conditions in which people live in lower Raboto. Without sanitation or running water, the slum is essentially a rubbish dump housing 600 families.

Barefoot children play amidst the human and animal faeces without a care in the world, entirely innocent to their circumstances.
