The National Society of the Haitian Red Cross (CRH) and its partner the American Red Cross proceeded in the commune of Quartier-Morin, in Cap-Haïtien (North), to the laying of the foundation stone of the new CRH Training Center. This project, which is part of the strengthening of the operational capacity of the CRH, receives financial support from the American Red Cross to the tune of about $800,000.

The project is designed in two stages. The first phase, to be completed in July 2017, will include the construction of the new premises, which will have an administrative area, training rooms and facilities to meet operational needs. During the second stage of the project, dormitories will be set up for users of the training center.
