More than six months have passed since the quake. Only 28,000 of the 1.5 million people displaced by the disaster moved into new homes. Haiti is considered the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The quake impacted some 3 million people in a country of 9 million.
"It is a sad truth that tragedy too often strikes those least able to cope with it," Fuller Center president David Snell said. "This is surely the case with the earthquake in Haiti, one of the world's poorest countries. Thousands upon thousands of families have lost their homes."
The Fuller Center is committed to providing as many families as possible with solid houses to replace those that were lost. Houses are currently estimated to cost around $3,000.
"This is a time for people of faith to come forward and lend a hand. The Fuller Center for Housing is raising funds to help rebuild the destroyed houses and we ask for your help," Snell said.
