TACOMA, Washington — The ground shook with violent ferocity as horizons—once crowded with buildings—emptied in seconds. As the earth finally stilled, momentary panic gave way to gripping dread. This was the experience of those who survived Haiti’s historic 2010 earthquake. The much-publicized tragedy inspired a multi-billion-dollar fundraising campaign and a stunning display of global solidarity. However, as the media frenzy abated, the world soon forgot about poverty in Haiti. At the time of the earthquake, 80% of the population lived in or near extreme poverty, and Haiti’s corrupt leadership provided them with little relief. In the absence of government-led programs, the task of reconstructing Haiti has been thrust upon non-governmental organizations, like the Caring House Project.
