Following the Haiti earthquake in January 2010, Imerys cooperated with Emergency Architects to rebuild the Fontaine health centre at Cité-Soleil, the country's largest town. More than 20% of the South African population aged 15-49 is infected by the AIDS epidemic. Imerys employs 600 people in the country and thus felt it necessary to set up a strategy for fighting the spread of the virus. The strategy focuses of the initial prevention phase providing training for Imerys’s employees and treatment thereafter if the virus is contracted.
