International Action is now making installations on three schools in Croix-des-Bouquets. Students at these schools have been drinking polluted water, and there are many cases of diarrhea, typhoid, and malaria among the children. Our installations will bring much-needed relief. To help us provide clean water for these children and stop the spread of disease, donate now.

Bringing Clean Water to Haiti

We have 300,000 Haitians - most of them children - drinking safe water today after one year of our work, and this year we will protect another 300,000 Haitians from waterborne diseases.

Children in Haiti have the highest death and disease rate of any children in our hemisphere. Many die in their first year. They die from cholera, typhoid, and chronic diarrhea - all waterborne diseases. With clean water they would live.

You can help. Each chlorinator we install costs $265 and we have installed 100 so far. Each chlorinator cleans the water for up to 10,000 people in Port-au-Prince. Your support will guarantee these people clean water. Today they have none, but with your help they can get a chlorinator for their neighborhood.

Meet Our Local Water Boards

"Since International Action installed chlorinators, the rate of diarrhea and sickness of children dropped dramatically. Kids are not getting sick any more. We learned we can prevent such diseases. We'd like to keep it this way."

Pierre Joab
President of Simmond Pelé
(4 chlorinators installed - 50,000 residents)

"I noticed the difference. Kids used to get sick before. Not anymore. Water is very good. Food is the problem. The only thing that works in this area is water."

Dieula Croissy
President of Drouillard (Cite Soleil)
(4 chlorinators installed - 15,000 residents)

"The chlorinators made a big difference. Before International Action installed chlorinators, kids used to get sick a lot. But now, everybody drinks clean, safe water and nobody is sick anymore!"

Staff at Kenscoff orphanage
(5 chlorinators installed - 1000 children)
