Here are a few photos of the filtration systems. Friday we were able to help install these into four schools. The program is designed to train the principals of the school how to use and maintain the system with a heavy emphasis on general hygiene. The schools are provided with informational posters to hang teaching hand washing and other ways to get clean water, including boiling. The children can take clean water home with them after school.



This was the installation I attended in City Soleil. The school is located in one of the most notorious part of the city.

It is hard to describe Port-Au-Prince. I have seen so much that it is difficult to process. The most outstanding impression for me is the complete lack of attention to basic safety. Not just the lack of safe drinking water, but the pollution, the roads, the food, uncovered sewer holes in the street. The rivers and streams look like landfills. The markets have eggs, meat, and fish are out in the hot sun all day. The only conclusion that I can come to is that because of the political destruction and hurricanes, the people are so focused on survival that everything else is ancillary.

The Pure Water organization has recognized the basic needs of the people and are working install these filtration systems in every school in Haiti within 10 years. They have over 1,000 so far and are making 350 per month. The demand far outways the supply.
