On 12 January 2010, a violent earthquake hits Haiti, in the heart of the Caribbean. The quake, one of the most deadly in recent history, brings to its knees one of the world’s poorest countries, where 80% of the population already lives in a condition of debilitating poverty and 54% makes due with less than a dollar a day. The statistics are dramatic: 222 thousand dead, 310 thousand injured, more than 900 thousand buildings destroyed.
