On behalf of MOSCTHA and all our team members and affiliates, we would like to thank the USAID for their incredible support since the devastating Haiti earthquake.  With the assistance of USAID, tens of thousands of affected Haitian citizens have been provided with much needed aid. But there can be no doubt – Haiti has a long and difficult path ahead. MOSCTHA stands ready to assist in overcoming the obstacles to long-term recovery that are certain to challenge those working to rebuild Haiti and insure its future prosperity.

In addition to the struggle to find food and a safe place to sleep, people in Haiti also find it difficult to acquire basic items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothbrushes. Without these simple necessities, routine daily hygienic activities such as brushing their teeth or washing their hands can prove to be a challenge. But thanks to USAID, we have received 1000 boxes of toiletry and hygiene kits for distribution. These kits assist in restoring a sense of normal life to those affected by the earthquake, but more importantly, allow children and their families to maintain their health.

The distributions of these kits will be initially provided to the cities of Anse-A-Pitre, Fond Parisien, and Ganthier.  However, this is just the beginning of our work to help supply struggling Haitians with the basic hygiene necessities they still lack. MOSCTHA will continue to focus its efforts on providing humanitarian assistance to communities that have yet to receive aid since the January 12, 2010 earthquake.

MOSCTHA, together with the assistance of USAID, will endeavor to continue the difficult mission of rebuilding Haiti, as well as the dignity of its people, with the hope of providing for a better tomorrow.
