Haiti: A New Path to Urban Renewal
Through the USAID-funded Katye project, CHF working with partners and local residents helped to rebuild the earthquake-devastated neighborhood of Ravine Pintade in Port-au-Prince. Katye, which means “neighborhood” in Creole, was based on a comprehensive and integrated planning process that relied heavily on the participation of residents in the planning and decision-making required to rebuild the community. More than 500 families now reside in new or upgraded homes. Other neighborhood improvements include improved drainage and sanitation facilities, community water tanks, solar-powered street lights, cleared walk ways and open public spaces to facilitate movement and access around the neighborhood.
