On August 14, 2021, a 7.2M earthquake devasted the southern region of Haiti.
What has #MiyamotoHaiti accomplished since?
👉 Partnered with UNOPS
👉 Trained over 2,000 masons, carpenters and steel workers on how to repair and rebuild confined masonry and traditional buildings.
👉 Trained over 14,000 building owners on how to initiate and follow through the reconstruction process, be supported by certified masons, and produce the appropriate documents.
👉 Nearly 180,00 structures have undergone damage and repair assessments.
👉 Miyamoto Haiti is now working to repair schools that were labeled in need of repair and create temporary steel shelter to replace the schools that were completely damaged.
💡The hands-on training of masons, iron workers and wood workers has allowed for a transfer of knowledge within the Haitian communities. The global partnership between Miyamoto Haiti and UNOPS, united with the Haitian community action, has mobilized the earthquake affected communities to “build back safer,” states Guilaine Victor, country manager of Miyamoto Haiti.
