In Haiti, just $30 can give one person clean water for 20 years. If you’re familiar
with charity: water, you've probably heard us say that $20 can give one person clean
water for 20 years. This is still accurate when we average our 2,300
projects in the 16 countries where we work. In Haiti, however, material costs are
high, which accounts for a higher per-person cost.
WHERE YOUR DONATIONS WILL GO.
The solution proposed by our local partners to help Nan Simon is a spring protection with tap stands.
Springs are usually found in mountainous areas and are formed as aquifers break
the earth’s surface. They can be excellent sources of drinking water, but if
left unprotected, they are easily contaminated. A concrete spring box will be
built around the source, shielding it from parasites and debris.
After the spring is covered and protected, the water is piped to a holding tank
- sand chambers inside make sure the water is crystal clear on the way out. Gravity
then takes the safe water down the mountain to community tap stands below.
After the project is complete, the recipients will receive comprehensive hygiene
and sanitation education. The community has agreed to donate
time and labor to construct the project. To keep the water clean and improve
hygiene, they’ll also build household latrines, BioSand filters, laundry stations,
handwashing faucets and animal troughs.
* Due to possible fluctuations in material costs or other factors,
your donation may be supplemented or dispersed among other charity:
