Poverty in Haiti

 

Exploring Poverty in Haiti-A Snapshot of the face of poverty

 

As a single Haitian mother, Hosanna struggles to care for a boy, Naitil, she found living alone on the streets. He wears the same filthy clothes every day. “My skin itches all over,” he says, embarrassed at the bumps covering his skin.

 

Hosanna knows that the dirt rubs his skin raw, but she doesn’t have the money to purchase detergent, clothing, or shoes. If he doesn’t receive help soon, the dirt will continue to eat away at his skin, causing open sores to develop. This leaves Naitil susceptible to the deadly typhoid fever bacteria common in the local filthy river, his only source for drinking and bathing water.

Extent of Poverty in Haiti

 

 

Haiti is the least developed country in Latin America, as this map shows.

 

To attempt to grasp the severity of Haiti’s situation, consider the fact that four-fifths of its population lives on less than $2 USD per person per day.  Furthermore, over half of the Haitian population, or approximately 4.5 million people, are considered extremely poor and live on less than $1 USD per person per day.

Hey Group 6,

I really liked your pyramid. I actually found it quite applicable to what our group found regarding causes of poverty. It's probably extremely relevant to a lot of countries that have a large portion of the population that's living in poverty. Great job! :)

Hey again group 6,

Was just going through the rest of your page, and wanted to comment on the brilliance of the organization you chose! It's really cool that you guys are focusing on/found an organization that is consistent with the pyramid theory you presented in class.
