UUSC sent an assessment mission to Haiti February 5 to meet with survivors and grassroots organizations and develop a mid- and long-term strategy for helping rebuild lives. With the help of a colleague fluent in Creole with years of experience working in Haiti, the mission will determine how we can best enable grassroots groups to work with marginalized populations neglected by traditional relief and recovery operations. As the situation evolves, survivors with significant unmet needs include orphaned children, women merchants and street vendors, newly displaced Haitians fanning out to the countryside, and amputees who will need to develop longer-term rehabilitation.
