The communities we work with are teeming with excitement as the chlorine distribution center comes closer to completion. Gaining access to safe water saves people’s lives. It also empowers them if they have the power and responsibility to maintain their clean water supply themselves.
Most Haitians have little or no input in how their communities are run and their frustration can lead to apathy and bitterness. It is life changing when people are given a chance to voice their opinions and change their own lives. You can feel it in how they talk to you, with confidence, conviction and hope. The Chlorine Distribution Center is a big step towards toward the empowerment and sustainability of Haitian communities.
