After the 2010 earthquake , there was an urban exodus to rural areas like Papaye , particularly from the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince . MMP set up a camp for internally displaced people , and in collaborations with partners such as Unitarian Universalist Service Committee ( UUSC ) , helped refugees build eco-villages . Earthquake survivors , MMP members , and volunteers built the houses , – survivors were paid a minimum salary for their work – taught urban dwellers sustainable farming methods , and set up personal and community gardens . Water management methods were also installed so that eco-village dwellers would have access to clean water . So far , the experiment has been a success and many other organizations are replicating this model in Haiti and elsewhere
