What happens after an earthquake hits Haiti?

with guest Allison Alley of Compassion Canada and Edouard Lassegue of Compassion International.Over the past decade, Haiti has been rocked by numerous natural disasters—earthquakes, hurricanes, drought, and more. The people of Haiti have time and again proven their resilience as they rebuild, but it raises the question, how best can the global community support them? What does it look like for organizations to respond urgently to an emergency, while still investing in long-term development? In this episode, Allison Alley, President and CEO of Compassion Canada, and Edouard Lassegue, Vice President of the Latin America and Caribbean Region at Compassion International, break down the aftermath of the 2021 earthquake, as well as the effects of the compounding crises that have swept through the country in recent years. Take a listen to explore the consequences of the “brain drain” that is affecting many majority countries around the world, Haiti included, and the beautiful, messy tension that exists between long-term development and relief.Readings & Resources:Instagram: @allisonalleyTwitter: @_allisonalleyEpisode hosted by Shelaine.
