Three years after one of the most disastrous earthquakes in history, Haitians are continuing to rebuild their lives. More than 200,000 people lost their lives and 1.5 million were displaced. The capital suffered catastrophic damage, crippling government buildings and destroying millions of homes.

The residents of Port-au-Prince are recycling debris left from the earthquake to rehabilitate their neighborhood by producing building materials created from the rubble. UNDP supported projects to reconstruct and improve roads, alleyways, drainage systems, public spaces and build disaster-resistant homes, using recycled material.

Projects such as these help to enable Haiti to transition from crisis and recovery to national development.
