AFH Responds to Haiti Disaster

Architecture for Humanity, the not-for-profit organization that responds to catastrophic humanitarian disaster with long-term design solutions, is responding to Tuesday’s devastating earthquake in Haiti, which has left widespread destruction and thousands dead according to official estimates. In an email blast, AFH executive director Cameron Sinclair said, “We have launched an appeal for supplying construction and design professionals and supporting earthquake resistant housing and community structures.” AFH does not provide emergency services to disaster-ridden areas, but focuses instead on housing displaced persons in the long-term, and rebuilding safer and stronger buildings.
