Haiti - Reconstruction : The Qatar respects its commitments 18/09/2012 10:51:42 The projects range from a $2 million grant that goes toward a mobile health clinic set up by Partners in Health of Boston, to a $5.5 million grant that goes toward the University of Notre Dame and the Xavier University of Louisiana. One million of that will be earmarked for scholarships for students. The Qatar Haiti Fund and the United States Agency for International Development also signed a memorandum of understanding to build about 150 to 200 permanent homes for people displaced by the earthquake on a land donated by the Haitian government. The homes will be built in Cabaret (Northwest of Port-au-Prince). "I hope it will set an example for other donors who have committed funds but have not been specific yet about when they will deliver," declared Clinton about Qatar. "The Qataris have kept their word and done it in an intelligent, forward-looking way."
