Morne à Cabri is a Haitian village built in 2012 to rehouse some of the hundreds of thousands of inhabitants left homeless by the 2010 earthquake. However the project, in a desert area 20km from Port-au-Prince, has been riddled with errors: delays, houses that are too small, high rents, botched work, corruption, etc. The challenges faced by the country are being replicated on a smaller scale and, in response, inhabitants must reinvent their daily lives.
