Asheboro
businesses, Peace Builders and Triad Corrugated Metal, have
developed a permanent solution to the housing crisis in Haiti.
There are a reported 1.1 million homeless Haitians who need permanent
shelter.
Charles Willard with Peace Builders just returned from Haiti. “The need
for housing in Haiti is immense. People are living under plastic sheets and tarps
with Hurricane season coming. The situation will go from very, very bad to worse
really soon.”
We have developed an affordable solution for permanent housing to address this
problem. Our plan can be executed quickly.”
While
in Haiti, Willard personally witnessed a food riot and violence
against Haitian women.
A
national network news team’s security detail was
distributing food to women and children who were from a
tent camp located next to the hotel. Men from the camp
started coming up to take the food from the women. Needless
to say, the women fought back.

“Witnessing
a riot and the desperation caused by hunger was a life changing
experience.” Willard says.
“Our
Haitian Housing units are designed to allow the women of Haitian
to lock themselves and their children into the units for their
own protection in the case of outside physical or sexual violence.”
There
are massive logistical problems in Haiti. Traffic jams, material
theft, and bad roads are very serious issues.
