In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, keeping Poured Out's 18 WaterHouse systems running is more vital than ever. These systems deliver clean, safe water to thousands each day - but they don't run without maintenance. We need your assistance buying new filters, building supplies, and supporting Chelo & Junnot's repair work to keep going. Your support directly empowers our Haitian staff, providing the tools and funding they need to restore access and sustain life-giving water for their communities.
Poured Out has 18 Water House systems in the south of Haiti, with more in other areas. These systems require regular yearly filter changes as well as maintenance needs that come up with use. Currently we need to replace filter bodies, chlorinator, and pump at Torbeck clinic as well as replace spigots (due to high daily use) at MEBSH and a few other systems. We also need to dig two wells deeper in order to sustain access with changing water levels at Nangwyav and Pralin.
This project will provide us with the necessary funding to complete all our maintenance requirements. At Poured Out, we prioritize sustainability and not just new projects. We want our systems and filters to last for many years, providing consistent clean water access for communities. With the increased cost of shipping to Haiti and the supply issues we have faced over the last few years, we need extra attention given to our maintenance fund to get all our systems back to ideal functionality.
The long term impact of this project is the sustained use and access to clean water that Haitian communities will have. At Torbeck clinic alone, the impact of our Water House is to 600+ people who live in the area and many more who travel to receive critical healthcare. We have seen the need for clean water increase with the challenges Haiti has been facing for years, and we want to see all our systems last for years and provide consistent, safe water to communities and individuals in Haiti.
