- What will DESWOS do to support the rebuilding?
Together with our partner organization, the EcoSouth Network, with a base in the neighboring Dominican Republic, we will focus the reconstruction aid for Haiti in the urban outskirts and rural areas.

Deswos also points out the 34 years of experience that EcoSouth partners have in development cooperation in the construction sector, especially in earthquake and catastrophe endangered areas in Central America. See Post disaster reconstruction (PDF file, english only)
