| OI Haiti Introduction |
|
In September 2004, Hurricane Jeanne caused major flooding and mudslides in the city of Gonaives, west of the capital Port-au-Prince. Over 3,000 people were confirmed dead. Every building in the city was damaged by the storm, and 250,000 people were left homeless.

OI Haiti is in partnership with the UNSRC Aux Antilles, and was opened its doors in 2005 in response to the damages caused by Hurricane Jeanne. OI Haiti Links
