With the help of our partners, International Action makes a difference.
International Action has partnered with many organizations to provide the Haitian people with the supplies they need – including water systems, medication, water test packets, and educational materials. Our partners enable us to be more effective and help more Haitians. We believe they are vital to our vision.

Working with Action Against Hunger, in May 2011 we installed a chlorinator on a 1600-gallon tank in Monjoie, an impoverished neighborhood in Port-au-Prince. The tank serves nearly 30,000 people, many of who travel from the surrounding area to retrieve water.
