Drinking Water for the Orphanage
By Dixie Bickel, RN | Executive Director
We are still trying to raise the funds to purchase a water filtration system for drinking water for the children at the orphanage. We have looked at a reverse osmosis and a ultra violet light system. Both of the methods of filtration are used in this one system. The cost is $3000 for the system and installation in Haiti. This would save us time, money, and transportation. At the moment, we have to load the water bottles, put them in a vehicle, and take them to a place that fills them for us. We do not receive new bottles each time and there is a chance of the bottles getting contamination at the filling site without us being able to control how they are filled.
Diarrhea from unclean water is one of the leading killers of children in Haiti. We are fighting to prevent that from happening at the orphanage.
Help us provide clean drinking water for the children by making a donation to help us purchase this system for clean drinking water.

Orphanage needs a water purification system
By Dixie Bickel | Executive Director

Water purification system
God's Littlest Angels uses 300 gallons of drinking water and 7000 gallons of cistern water in a week. That is a lot of water! Our 44 children drink water and water based drinks throughout the day. Our kitchen staff uses clean drinking water for cooking. We encourage the children and staff to drink as much water or flavored drinks as they will. We buy our drinking water at a small store just outside of our mission gates.
Everyone takes bucket baths and water is not wasted but with flushing toilets, mopping floors, washing dishes, bathing,and mixing cement for building etc, the water in our cisterns (concrete storage units) is used quickly. We have no wells or city water so we must purchase water and have it brought in by the truck load!
Recently, a mission who sells water purification units came to our facility in Fort Jacques and looked at what we have already and suggested a small system to purifiy our drinking water through reverse osmosis and ultraviolet treatment. The cost for the system is approximately $900. It would pay for itself quickly and then we would be purifying drinking water at little cost to the orphanage! The attached photo is similar to what we need to meet our drinking needs but just a little smaller.
Please help us raise the funds needed to purchase our own water purification sytem!

Happy Kids!

This is a praise report! We can't call it anything less than that, because this GlobalGiving - Clean Water for Haitian Children Campaign is the reason that all of these amazing boys are healthy and ready to play! They've got smiles on their faces, healthy teeth, and full bellies! The effects of malnourishment that they suffered earlier in their lives are reversing more and more every day -- and all of that, because you were willing to help us supply them with clean drinking water.
This is no small gift but it is a simple one. Sometimes the answer to problems doesn't need to be complex and this is one of those cases. You provide us funding which directly enables us to buy the purified drinking water needed to help each of these boys and so many more children like them thrive, day after day.
Thank you for being obedient to answer the call. Because of you, our reach is further and our future is bright for being able to care for more children here in the mountains of Fort Jacques, Haiti!
