The IA Clean Water Campaign team has completed a site evaluation of the Bertin neighborhood of Carrefour, a large town just west of the capital Port-au-Prince. During the first week of August, the team will install LF-500 chlorinators on all ten tanks serving this area.
At the same time, the team will work with local water boards to involve community leaders in the maintenance of the chlorine systems. Carrefour is well-known for several schools run by Silesian Catholic priests and sisters, but is also often a troubled community with gang violence. The city has some 400,000 residents, and the Bertin neighborhood holds an estimated 50,000 people.
