Our goal is not simply to return Haiti to pre-quake conditions but rather to build back stronger and more resilient. As always, children are at the centre of our plans. We have prioritised child well-being from the start, and we will continue to strive to see that all of Haiti’s children:
• enjoy good health
• are educated for life
• experience the love of God and their neighbours
• are cared for, protected and participating in their communities.
In late 2012, World Vision conducted an extensive end-of-programme evaluation, engaging nearly 1,500 adults and children, to measure the effectiveness of our earthquake response. These findings will guide the organisation’s continuing efforts to strengthen communities in Haiti – and help us respond to future emergencies with greater effectiveness.
