Emergency support to cholera affected population of the Artibonite department
US$ millions unless stated. Haitian fiscal year, October to September. FY2026-27 began October 1, 2026.
Description
On 12 January 2010 a devastating earthquake (7.0 on the Richter scale) struck Haiti, some 15 km west of the capital Port-au-Prince. According to the Haitian authorities it claimed the lives of almost 220,000 people. Around 300,000 people, some with life-threatening injuries, needed medical care. Official reports state that more than 500,000 people have fled Port-au-Prince for rural areas. Since the earthquake, the Artibonite department has been facing the enormous logistical challenge of having to care for tens of thousands of refugees and providing the necessary infrastructure, shelter, food and medical support. To boot, on October 21st 2010, a cholera outbreak was confirmed by the Government of Haiti and since then has taken its toll. As of November 9, a
more
total of more than 10,000 cholera cases and more than 800 deaths were reported. 76 per cent of reported cases are in the Artibonite department, over 22 per cent in the Centre department and the rest in Port-au-Prince. Immediately after the first cholera cases were confirmed, Caritas Gonaives contacted Caritas Switzerland with a request for assistance, as the two organisations have been working together for a number of years and still have ongoing common projects. At the same time, Caritas Switzerland has already been working with Caritas Gonaives in the health sector before the earthquake and the outbreak of Cholera. This current project have two main components: an information campaign by radio in order to halt the spreading of Cholera as soon as possible as well as the distribution of medical consumable supplies and water purification products in order to support those suffering from Cholera or those at a great risk of being infected. This project is planned for three months and CAFOD contribution will cover 22% of the overall cost of the project.
