Families given homes in Concern secure housing project

FOR many Haitians made homeless by last year’s earthquake, the possibility of having their own secure homes, gardens or even personal toilets are far off, maybe years away.

But a swamp east of capital Port au Prince has been reconverted into a small village to house up to 1,200 families who lost their homes.

Already, signs of normal life have emerged among the transitional shelter homes funded by Irish charity Concern.
