How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Disaster-Responsive Engineering Deploymentmethodology: disaster-response_engineeringBy deploying trained engineers to conduct post-disaster structural assessments using standardized protocols (e.g., ATC-20), ADIHA improves community safety and informs resilient rebuilding, because rapid, technically sound evaluations prevent loss of life and guide effective recovery.
- Professional Capacity-Building for Community Developmentmethodology: professional-capacity-buildingBy investing in the education, professional development, and technical expertise of Haitian and diaspora engineers, ADIHA strengthens both individual career trajectories and collective community resilience in Haiti, because sustainable development requires locally rooted, technically skilled leadership.
