Two years after the earthquake, World Vision is seeing the success of the largest single-country emergency response in its 60-year history.

With support from generous Canadians, more than 7,700 Haitian children have benefited from Child-Friendly Spaces, where they can play and learn. Almost 14,000 people have received transitional housing. More than one million people have received food support. While hundreds of thousands have benefitted from clean water and sanitation services; mobile health clinics; baby-friendly spaces and nutrition training; and, psychosocial and disabilities support.

Your generous support means that thousands of children like 11-year-old Rebecca can wake each morning, with their hopes and dreams intact: "I dream a lot. I want to become a doctor, because being a doctor you're able to help a lot of people."

"I love it here, because I go to sleep and wake up and I still feel safe," says one small child at a World Vision Interim Care Centre. This centre is part of the Family Tracing Program that has seen hundreds of children reunited with their families, after becoming separated post-earthquake.

After the earthquake, chaotic and unsafe camps sprung up everywhere as families struggled for survival. Today, more than 500,000 people still live in these camps. World Vision adopted a management role in many of these camps, coordinating aid delivery and setting up Child Friendly Spaces—spaces where children can play, learn and get away from the realities of camp life.

"Those first months in the Child Friendly Spaces were about taking away our stressful situations. For example, I had a cousin who died in the earthquake. We could talk about that," says 17-year-old Richard.

Twelve-year old Gonzalez receives medical care at a cholera treatment unit operated by World Vision in Port-au-Prince.

Today, hope can be found in so many places in Haiti—in the smiles and laughter of children playing in Child Friendly Spaces and in the hearts of parents reunited with children they feared were forever lost to them.

With the immediate relief phase now over, World Vision is focusing on longer-term recovery goals, working on livelihoods and helping children access an education system formerly out of reach.

"I am proud that we have been able to have a sustained impact in the lives of thousands of people during a two-year period that has been extremely difficult at times," says Emmanuel Isch, World Vision's senior director of the Haiti Response.

This "sustained impact" would not have been possible without the support, faith and contributions of Canadians. So two years later, as lives continue to be restored, we say "Thank you!"
