Culligan Water closed in Cap Haitien, due to lack of fuel, causing an even greater shortage of clean drinking water.
So, the hospital in Cap Haitien requested we provide a biosand water filter for each new mom, to help give babies a healthy start in life. We are working to meet that request. Millions struggle to find clean drinking water. (source) |
Welcome
We are a group of Haitians and Americans working together to provide a basic need to people in northern Haiti.
Water is life. No one can live without it.
We recognized the lack of clean safe water in Haiti after a Mission Trip to Cap Haitien in 2012. At that time the decision was made to get involved. We identified Bio-Sand water filters to be the best in home filtering system for the Haitian society.

The Need
- As the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, Haiti is extremely vulnerable to natural hazards, with more than 90% of the population at risk. Almost 60% of Haitians live below the poverty line of $2.41 a day, and millions struggle to find clean drinking water. (source)
- Globally, 829,000 people are estimated to die yearly from diarrhoea as result of unsafe drinking-water, sanitation and hand hygiene, 36% of them are children under the age of 5. (source)
