LITTLETON, CO, 29th July 2010 – Community Aid Relief and Development (CoAid), in association with Samaritans Purse and Promised Provision Ministries has started the construction of a transitional community in Darbonne, Haiti for victims of the recent earthquake.

Darbonne is located on the outskirts of Leogane which was at the epicenter of the January 12th 2010 earthquake where 80-90% of buildings were damaged.

In partnership with Samaritans Purse and Promised Provision Ministries, CoAid is helping provide temporary homes for up to 175 families in Darbonne, Haiti.

We have the opportunity to secure an ideal parcel of land for the construction of a community of 175 transitional shelters to be built by Samaritans Purse and Promised Provision. The land has trees for shade and has already been assessed as meeting the criteria for this type of construction. All that remains is to pay the landowner the agreed price of $2,000 for a 1-year lease.

Six months to the day after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, CoAid is still committed to sending healing and restoration to the country.

Right now, we have need for a construction engineer with many years professional experience to join a CoAid needs assessment team to travel to Haiti sometime late August or early September. You must have specific experience with earthquake/hurricane proof construction using concrete.
