Increased access to sustainable safe water supply and sanitation services for poor rural population in Haiti
This project has three main components:
- Drinking water using solar energy.
- Sanitation.
- Health and hygiene promotion.
For the first of three components, with the intervention of Food For The Poor Haiti (FFP) in partnership with Water Missions International (WMI), a system of water purification in each of the three target communities will be installed. This plant miniature water treatment consist of filtration and chemical disinfection for drinking water production.
The second component is the Sanitation program. For this, 220 houses (120 houses in Manneville, 50 homes in Sarbousse and 50 in Picot) to comply with hygiene measures to control epidemics built.
The third component of the program involves the promotion of health and hygiene to improve the overall health of the target communities. A lasting change in the health of individuals and communities is possible only when the levels of awareness and understanding of health increase.
