“In 2017, we have begun to apply our haiti experiences to other contexts. We are expanding our work throughout the cycle of disaster preparedness, mitigation, prevention, relief, and recovery. Building from our work in haiti, j/p hro is expanding our geographic footprint and partnering with high-risk communities in the hurricane belt in the caribbean and the united states to build their capacity to prepare, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. In 2017, we supported partner organizations responding to the devastating hurricane season in antigua and barbuda and the us virgin islands. In 2018, we are conducting a pilot youth disaster preparedness project in savannah, georgia, and conducting assessments for the recovery of the agricultural and housing sectors in puerto rico. In 2017, our haiti takes root initiative, has progressed from planning to implementation phases, supporting smallholder farmers to adapt to the effects of a changing climate.”

“J/p hro was born out of an effort to bring supplies and medical volunteers to haiti immediately following the devastating earthquake in january 2010. Within our first year of operations we were providing emergency medical, educational, housing, water and sanitation, and infrastructure services to over 60,000 internally displaced haitians at the petionville club camp (pvc). To assist pvc residents in returning to their homes, j/p hro removed 500,000 cubic meters of rubble and built over 100 units of permanent housing in port-au-prince between 2011 to 2014. With all former residents rehomed into safe housing in neighborhoods around port-au-prince, we successfully closed the pvc in january 2014. We continue to support delmas 32 residents as they seek to create sustainable and prosperous communities: our community development campus, k-6 school, and dental clinic provide services for former camp residents who have since returned home.”
