About Project Leogane

Project Leogane launched on 15 February 2010 and will now run for roughly 29 months – through 30 June 2012. The devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on 12 January 2010 was a tragic event with enormous scale and impact; this coastal town was approximately 90% destroyed and 30,000 people lost their lives here. Despite the tremendous needs and challenging operating environment, the people of Haiti are cleaning up and moving forward with energy and spirit. All Hands volunteers are helping Haiti, working tirelessly in and with the community, assisting with the recovery efforts one day at a time.

About the city of Leogane

Leogane is a town of 180,000 people, spread across urban and rural areas. Our base is located a few blocks from the town center. Much of the population is living in tent camps or on the street in front of their damaged or destroyed homes. Aftershocks still affect the area and people are extremely afraid, so much so that many will not enter structures even during daylight hours. One of our primary goals during the early part of the project is rubble removal/demolition, so that families can move from camps back onto their own clear spaces; we have also expanded to transitional classroom construction, sanitation programs, and NGO support activities.
