Sapa, Stockholm, Sweden, is providing help in building a new infrastructure for Haitian people. Sapa will sponsor Raincatchers, a non-profit U.S. charity that plans to build houses for up to 500 people, in rural areas, 40 miles (64 km) outside the capital of Port au Prince. By June 2010, Raincatchers plans to start building the homes, hoping to complete the project in 4 to 6 weeks.
