Mission: from newletter:
The goal of Pure Water for the World, Inc. is to prevent people from suffering and dying from contaminated water and its consequences of intestinal parasites and illness. We do this through local manufacturing of sand water filters and by providing sustainable, clean, safe drinking water systems to families, schools, and communities in developing countries. In Haiti, Pure Water for the World (PWW) provides a package of services to reduce disease and to improve the health of children by providing point-of-use water purification, teacher training, and hygiene education to schools.
This organization provides Temporary or Permanent Service? Temporary
Notes:
In 18 months, PWW has trained 1,640 teachers to provide hygiene education and placed filter systems in 725 schools serving over 202,000 students. Since the January 12 earthquake PWW has:
•Delivered 665 tanker loads of chlorinated water totalling about 7.8 million litres. At our recent daily rate of delivery we have been serving about 82,000 people with 5 litres of water per day, six days a week. About 85-90% of deliveries are to the Cite Soleil area.
•Trained 50 community hygiene promoters, former teachers and principals in Cite Soleil schools to go back into their communities and classes to promote good hygiene practices. Twenty-nine are currently working in Cite Soleil and 21 are to start work next week¸ budget permitting.
•Identified 40 water reservoirs to be used as drop points for water tankers.
•Appointed 25 water agents to supervise the distribution of water from the reservoir; we have implemented a system of checks of deliveries by the water agents to ensure that the contracted loads of water arrive and are distributed free to community members.
Please help us continue our work in Haiti with a donation.
