Islam has won a growing number of followers in this impoverished country, especially after the catastrophic earthquake in 2010 that killed hundreds of thousands and left millions more homeless. Derosier said she was drawn to the religion's preaching of self-discipline, emphasis on education and attention to cleanliness. The constant washing, she said, helps her and other Muslims avoid cholera, the waterborne illness that health officials say has sickened hundreds of thousands and killed thousands since surfacing after the quake.

Derosier said what's helped pull her through all the grief has been her faith, but not of the Catholic, Protestant or even Voodoo that's dominated this island country. Instead, she's converted to a new religion here, Islam, and built a small neighborhood mosque out of cinderblocks and plywood, where some 60 Muslims pray daily. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
