The project
In October 2016, Haiti was counting its dead amid the devastation wrought by Hurricane Matthew. Grand’Anse in the south of the island was particularly badly affected, with tens of thousands left homeless. France’s second largest humanitarian NGO, ACTED, which specialises in emergency situations, was one of the most active players in Haiti in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Role of the ENGIE Foundation
The ENGIE Foundation gave ACTED a special grant enabling it to start work in the field as soon as possible.
