This month a forum at the Montana Hotel took place sponsored by the MTPTC, the national public works ministry. All the actors in the public sector along with several NGOs attended. The meeting focused on how to reform the public water system and provide clean water based on a fair price policy and shared loyalty to the public. The meeting showcased a partnership between the Haitian state and NGOs.
We have successfully installed two new chlorinators in Solino, where 7,500 people live. This is the third largest slum, behind Cité Soleil and Bel Air. Armed bandits were in control of the town for quite awhile. The quality of water was horrific before the installation of the chlorinator, but now Solino has better drinking water.
