From Relief to Recovery for Haiti's Children
Haiti, One Year On
One year ago, the worst earthquake in living memory struck Haiti on 12th January 2009, killing 220,000 people and permanently scarring an entire generation of children.
UNICEF has been working tirelessly for thousands of children every day this year, and will be in Haiti for as long as the children need us.
Despite remaining challenges, much has been done within the year. Thanks to donor support, UNICEF played a key role in:
- Providing 680,000 people with safe water daily
- Immunising over 1.9 million young people against measles, tetanus and other fatal diseases
- Enabling 720,000 children to return to school
