PIH featured on ABC's Good Morning America

Posted on Aug 24, 2010

PIH/ZL nurse Genevieve Joubert and PIH women's health coordinator Sarah Marsh show GMA's Robin Roberts around Dadadou--a spontaneous settlement serving as a home to roughly 10,500 Haitians.

The ABC news program followed the women as they showed Robin what life is like for the 1.5 million people still living in tents and makeshift shelters in and around Port-au-Prince.

"The greatest needs are safe shelter," said Genevieve. It's not uncommon for tents to hold as many as 13 people, though Genevieve recently found 27 people living together in one tent.

"They need housing, they need food, they need hygiene," said Sarah Marsh.
