Hey all!
As you know we have been transitioning our Haitian Staff to be able to complete Water Houses on their own. Our most recent challenge in that transition has been getting supplies to Haiti. We are unable to travel as an American staff as frequently, which is also one of the reasons for the training, and therefore we don't have supplies there to do more Water Houses. This month we are doing a trial run on shipping filters to Haiti to gauge cost, timeframe, safety, and feasibility in the unpredictable environment that is Haiti. If it goes well and costs remain less than compared to American staff traveling, we will move forward with shipping an entire system worth of equipment and give our staff an opportunity to do a Water House on their own from start to finish without any American staff present.
This would be a big step forward in the communities we would be able to reach with clean water! We are very excited about this chance to make a bigger impact and thank you for your support through this project!
Thanks again,
Sara Bannon
