Joint Programs with NGOs
"Now, with a chlorinator installed, the 233 students at National Virginia Sampeur School drink clean water. The clean drinking water became a big event in the 2007-2008 academic year."
Dr. Remy at African Methodist-Episcopal Church (AME)
International Action maintains at least 110 chlorinators in Port-au-Prince at any one time. We do this both to supply our own staff and to encourage any non-governmental group who is willing to install chlorinators. So far we have trained staff from Concern Worldwide, CARE, World Vision, Partners in Health and Kokapop. We are further committed to providing chlorine to any device installed for the first year.
Together, we aim to make Port-au-Prince the first large city to use neighborhood chlorinators for public water. We hope to make Port-au-Prince a model for cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America which lacks urban water treatment. The shift of rural populations to cities is a worldwide trend and has overwhelmed sanitary and water facilities in many cities. We hope to demonstrate a solution to this problem and train non-profit groups in the installation process.

Thousands of Livable Homes in Port-au-Prince Lay Vacant, Awaiting Damage Assessment
As many as 50% of the homes in the Port-au-Prince earthquake zone are likely to be habitable, but most Haitians refuse to occupy them because they are afraid that ongoing aftershocks will cause further collapses.
