Six months after Haiti's devastating earthquake, many of those affected say they are seeing little benefit from the money pledged for reconstruction.

The international community donated up to $10bn, but only a fraction of that money has been spent. Aid groups say if they don't get new funding soon, the future may be in jeopardy for tens of thousands of Haiti's orphans.
