"Besides the majority of the government institutions to be rebuilt, civil society is confronted with the Challenge of building 250,000 houses and 2,000 schools. But rebuilding Haiti today is not only a physical task, it is not only a question of money, it is also a moral reconstruction, a mental makeover. Hundreds of thousands of families and orphans need to be reunited and entire communities need to be rebuilt."
