Access to clean water continues to be a significant issue all across Haiti. Close to 70% of the population does not have access to potable water. Waterborne illnesses, such as cholera or typhoid, cause more than half the deaths in Haiti each year. Contaminated water is one of the leading causes of childhood illness and the very high infant mortality rate in Haiti.
Through our water well drilling program, Together for Haiti will be able to provide access to clean, fresh water for the communities we serve and well drilling services for other organizations and businesses all across Haiti.
One of our primary objectives is to initiate projects and programs to create opportunities that provide sustainable income and economic growth for Haitians and for Together for Haiti. We also seek to invest in projects that will provide for the general health and well being of the Haitian people. Through our water well drilling program, Together for Haiti will provide jobs, sustainable income, and clean water for numerous Haitian communities.
