Haiti
The week after a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January of 2010, Builders Without Borders of Texas, Inc., took a team of 15 to assist. The team, made up of mostly medical personnel,  worked at the Haitian Community Hospital in Port au Prince.
BWBT has taken 5,000 pounds of medical supplies to Haiti since the earthquake.

In February of 2010, a team of 10 returned to Haiti, where they worked in Jacmel providing medical assistance, helping to install a water line, and build a birthing center.
Homes for Haiti
Builders Without Borders of Texas, Inc., partnered with CORE (Christians Organized for Relief Efforts) and built 800 houses for Haiti. The houses were constructed in the United States, with the walls and floors being palletized for shipment. Upon arrival in Haiti, teams assembled the "pieces", installed hurricane clips and straps to wind load the houses for up to 130 MPH, and painted the houses.

The houses are now scattered around Haiti and providing homes for hundreds of families. Here is one of the houses in Jacmel and its owner "Alicia".
