After powerful earthquake in Haiti the Canadian government was reconstructing it for two years and in the end was disappointed. International Co-operation, Minister Bev Oda said what you can see signs of progress. She also said what mostly, disappointment called by big expectations. "The 7.0-magnitude quake killed more than 200,000 people, injured 300,000 and left 1.5 million Haitians homeless". Some of the things that slowed the reconstruction were months-long political crisis and an ongoing cholera epidemic that had struck 520,000 people and killed 7,000 by mid-December. "Today, some 500,000 people still live in the squalor and dangers of the encampments — a figure that does represent some improvement. One million were living in tents last year, on the first anniversary of the earthquake." Things become better since Haiti received a billions of dollars as an intonational aid. Five millions cubic meters have been removed according to United Nations Development Programme. They did it also to create more jobs, because of big percent of unemployment (about 60%). Now, where is a lot of projects were created to help Haiti recover faster.

Haiti needs help and it is good to know what where is some organisation like UN gives it. Of course some things did not work, but where is a lot of other projects to give new homes for people.
