Hey all!
Wanted to take the time to update you on what has been going on in Haiti in the last few months.
Chelo and Junnot have been working on a WaterHouse build for several months now. Usually these builds go up a little quicker than this but we have had delays in shipping, materials in Haiti not being available (like all roofing materials), and issues with water sourcing with rainy season and well reclaim. This has led to a lot of problem solving on the part of Chelo and many mini projects happening in between progress on the build.
Chelo was able to fix a few systems as well as complete many filter follow ups and make progress on getting new filters from the north of Haiti. This will be a huge step this year towards doing more in-home filter installs which have been on hold due to transportation safety.
Yesterday I got the word that they system is working and water is flowing! This is a big win and we are so grateful for your support even when things do not go as planned or desired. The guys are already ready to start the next so we are hoping to work on that soon!
Many thanks for all you do for our staff in Haiti. They really are the reason we can do anything we do and you supporting them helps immensely!
